Many thanks for your suggestions.

I'll check that out.

I'm probably in a minority, but I use "i i" to indicate
an error - is that reasonable?  It's just that I haven't
heard anyone send 8 or more dots in a long time.

Thanks - I'll do that.

I'm not too confident in coding for 2-way communications
with WinKey - there are many timing issues involved.
That's why SD & SDX follow WinKey settings (especially
Speed) rather than the other way around.

However, I will experiment a bit to see if there's a
simple solution.

Thanks - I'll add them to the manual.
