Jim,

Is you path to MMTTY pointing to a shortcut instead of the EXE file
- or is there a shortcut in the target directory?

The MMTY plug-in for WriteLog calls the exe file with some special
command switches to configure the correct display (information is in
programmer's documentation).  It is possible that calling a shortcut
instead of the .exe file can block the necessary command switches.

73,

    ... Joe, W4TV
