I think I have finally figure this out - and some others might see
the same "problem".

I change how the serial port behaves when it isn't being used for 
a CW output port as well as a serial communication port.  I go ahead
and assert the RTS/CTS type signals so that if you use a full cable
to connect to the radio or TNC, it will work.  

>From the 6.02 release notes:

 - TR now uses its own serial port initialization routines.  This has at
   least two advantages.  First, if your BIOS doesn't recognize your
   serial port, TR will still try to initialize it.  Secondly, TR now
   turns on both RTS and DTR signals which is the more "proper" thing
   to do.  However, if you also assign the serial port as a CW output
   port, the signals will be used for CW and PTT instead.

So, if you leave your CW or PTT interface connected, your radio will
be keyed.

The solution is simple - keep the KEYER OUTPUT PORT command in the 
LOGCFG.DAT file so the program won't assert these signals.

Glad to put this one to bed!
