[Trlog] Changing Config Files & Ctrl-V Questions

[Ken Beals]

When you say "that doesn't appear to do anything for my CW messages", I 
think that means you are using the default messages that Tree provides 
for any particular contest.  If you include definitions for all the F 
keys in your .cfg file,  then they will change with the Ctrl-V just like 
everything else.  You can also put keys that are the same for all 
configs into the stdcfg.dat file, which gets loaded every time you start 
TR.  Anything that is not defined in the specific .cfg file will use the 
value in stdcfg.dat .
