[RTTY] Understanding the N1MM plus dueling CQ function in RTTY So2r

[Mark n2qt]

Actually the mousing isn't but so bad so long as the windows are right besides
each other. I use a gaming mouse which has a button programmed as ESC
and another with ALT/W.  

It seems whatever you learn tends to be what you stick with. I've tried keyboard
centric contesting and don't do well. It hurts me for CW/SSB where there is typing
needed.
