John,

If the CAT program sends a BW of zero, that puts control back to the 
pot.  I do that in my N4PY Orion program.  So each BW change, I follow 
it with a zero BW.  So can you make the BW command actually be two 
commands with the second one a width of 0?  I actually send "*RMF0 Cr" 
after each BW setting.
