[RTTY] CR/LF, SP, or something better for RTTY

[Rick Ellison]

Dave..
This all depends on the Rich Text control that resides on your computer. Try
it first with {ENTER} if it works then your good. Some of the RichText
control versions required a linefeed to be also sent before an actual line
jump would happen. On a system where the control works with {ENTER} sending
{ENTERLF} will send 2 line jumps..

For N1MM do we use an {ENTER}or {ENTERLF} at the beginning of the macro.
For the skimmer.

Thank You!
