Hi Jim,
Glad to hear %L is now working for you.
To use the call stack first review the Help manual section "Entry Push/Pop
Call Queue". There are several things you can do to your writelog.ini file
to make manipulation of the stack very easy.
First, create a new section in your writelog.ini file as below:
[RttyContextMenuEntries]
1=PUSHCALL
The default in Rittyrite is if you right click on a call a drop box opens
with some default selections. One of these is to Push Call to the stack.
If you add the above line to your ini file the drop box goes away as the
only option left is PUSHCALL. This now becomes the default of a right mouse
click on a call. There is no visible feed back, but the call is added to
the stack. If the CALL field is empty you can see the first three calls in
the stack just to the left of the CALL box where the next number is usually
shown.
Now you need a way to manipulate the stack if necessary. I did this by
creating two keyboard shortcut keys, the "[" and "]" keys which were unused
for anything else. You can use the Setup/Keyboard Shortcuts... utility in
WriteLog or just add the following two lines to your KeyboardShortcuts
section in your ini file if you have one.
[KeyboardShortcuts]
OPEN_SQUARE=EntryPopCallFromQueue
CLOSE_SQUARE=EntryPushCallToQueue
These two keys when toggled one after the other will cycle through all the
calls in the stack - Pop, Push, Pop, Push, etc. If you have a call you want
to delete from the stack just cycle through the stacked calls until the one
you want is in the CALL field and then hit Alt+W to wipe it out of the
stack. I rarely have more than two or three calls in the stack so it is
fairly easy to manage.
I now create two shortcut macros for RTTY use.
F8 - "%R%C TU %L "
F9 - "NOW %C 599 nnn %C "
During a run if I am called by more than one station whose calls print
clearly I click on the first call I want and hit Insert. This starts
sending my exchange message to him. After hitting Insert, while my exchange
is being sent, I right click on the second call to Push the call onto the
stack. After my exchange message ends I receive the exchange from the first
station and left click the report into the correct fields in the Entry
window. When his exchange info to me is ready to log I hit the F8 key
followed immediately by the F9 key. This logs the first call and his
information, Pops the next call from the stack into the CALL field and sends
the combined macro strings together to parse the NOW... message.
Really easy and seamless way to manage the pileup. Give it try and I'm sure
you will agree.

Hi all
OK got it working now
I'm interested in this statement from Gary
Fn = "%R%C TU %L ", which should send TU to the current call, log that
call and then pop the next call from the stack into the Call field.
which part of that puts the next call in the stack into the call field
What happens if it's a busted call? just manually edit?
Thanks
Jim M0CKE
