Hi Marsh,

You can use the "Help" from within WriteLog and search for "CW and RTTY
and Voice Memory Setup" -- but only on the latest version.  You won't
find %GP in the older versions' help menu.  The PDF help file online is
not up to date with 12.18, but we're working on updating that this week.
 Converting from chm to pdf is a challenge.  :)

Thanks,

Steve N9OH
