GM All,
Well this has been interesting.
I tried including the CQ DX KC4HW in the F11 message but it would not transmit
the expected message.
I did have another messge in F1 so I changed the F1 message to agree with
AA5AU's suggestion below that was CQ DX KC4HW without the grid. I left the F11
as it was which had the same as F1. So with the change to F1 to CQ DX KC4HW it
is now transmitting the CQ DX KC4HW and adds the grid identifier.
Bottom line: Works! both FT8 and FT4.
BTW in the Message dialog, the focus check boxes are for those that are SO2R.
Unfortunately I don't have the radio equipment for SO2R right now. I had the
making of one a few years ago, but it was a couple of economic challenges, that
I have just now started to recover from. But I have been thinking about a
second radio just to play with it again...
OK, thanks to all that responded to my request for help.

________________________________________________________________________________
To change the CQ message in DigiRite, change F11 (which may be the same as F01
not sure). On my setup it's the last of the unshifted RTTY messages.
If it says "CQ TEST DE KC4HW" then DigiRite sends CQ TEST KC4HW XX33 (or
whatever you grid is).
Make it "CQ DX DE KC4HW" or "CQ DX KC4HW" then your DigiRite CQ should come out
as CQ DX KC4HW XX33.

Been using DigiRite with the General DX record keeping--all seems to be OK.
After WW DIGI, while using the General DX module, my default CQ message was
"CQ DX KC4HW EM71".
Have been playing with the RTTY setup in anticipation of CQ WW RTTY later this
month. Added/imported messages from a past CQ WW RTTY entry. Which changed my
F01 Message to TEST KC4HW CQ.
So I go to do a little GP operating and perhaps DXing on FT8 (FT4 was dead)
last night and found that the default CQ message had changed to "CQ KC4HW EM71".
Actually I prefer the CQ DX message in this type operating. I did see in
DigiRite Readme file that DigiRite uses the F01 message to formulate the CQ
message for whatever contest module is selected (maybe I understand this
correctly). Anyway I change my F01 Message to read CQ DX KC4HW CQ, but this
did not appear to have the desired effect.
So how can I change the message for FT8/FT4 to utilize "CQ DX" during general
operating?

PS: I actually looked back through a few months of Writelog email that I have
and did not see anything that might answer this question. Further I found the
Writelog email reflection and the archive goes way back, but unfortunately it
does not have the ARCHIVE SEARCH enabled. Mailman does provide for this
feature in it setup screen, so I for one would like to lobby that this feature
be enabled in the future. Thanks!
