[ct-user] CW functions

Also, don't run CT DOS from a Windows DOS window.

The last you wrote, you said you were going to get a parallel keying
interface.  Buying a 9 to 25 pin adapter doesn't make a serial
keying interface into a parallel one.   Parallel interfaces will
only come with a 25 pin connector, serial interfaces come with
either a 9 or 25 pin connector.  If you are using CTWin, serial CW
keying is not supported, you must use the parallel port for CW
keying.  If you are using CT DOS, then you can use either the serial
(COM1, COM2, etc.) or parallel (LPT1, LPT2, etc.) ports.  The actual
keying circuit built in to a parallel or serial keying cable is
virtually identical, they are just connected to different pins and
possibly expect different voltage levels. or polarities.
