[CQ-Contest] CW with FLDigi?

I'm trying to help a relative newcomer to set up his rig for the MiQP. 
He's just learning CW, we note that FLdigi can send and decode CW.  I've 
used FLdigi for Hellschreiber and PSK-31, but never with trying to 
decode CW under contest conditions.  From what I've encountered in MiQP 
and similar contests, there's seldom a condition where "good ears" 
couldn't work with a recevier 2 KHz bandwidth or so, which these 
software packages generally use with a rig in the SSB mode.

Has anyone had experience with using it, or another "digital" software 
package, in a simple CW contest like MiQP?   It would help his 
multiplier count if he could make some CW contacts with an aid like FLdigi.

Please don't "put this question down" - I'd like to encourage the 
newbies to contesting to give it their all, and use all the technology 
available.
