[TRLog] TR RTTY - can't transmit message buffers

Last minute appeal, 30 minutes before the contest...

I've been trying to get TR-Log working on RTTY for the 
first time, after reading VE3IAY's posts on the subhject.

I am able to receive, but I cannot get the function keys to transmit
or to send any of the buffers.  The TNC is an old PK-232.

The ONLY way I am able to transmit at all is to do the following:

... [radio in RX]
press F10
Control-C
X   ...[radio/TNC goes into XMIT]
<send whatever I want here, goes out as RTTY text>
Control-C
R   ...[radio goes back to RX]

Adding ^CX and ^CR as my RTTY SEND STRING and RTTY RECEIVE STRING
seemed to make no difference.  Adding these characters to F-key
memories made no difference.  I am talking to the TNC and can
print text fine.

Any ideas why the F-keys won't work? What am I doing wrong here?
Again, the TNC is a PK-232

Thanks for any assistance.
