[WL-USERS] Newbie CW Questions

[Ric Plummer]

Hi Barry,
When you do an ALT-K it will bring up the window and send characters as
they are typed.
The functions keys are not preprogrammed, you set them up when you set
up for the contest.
I use the CT Compatible option in the .ini file, and use
F1 = CQ, F2=Report, F3=TU call, F4=call ( yours), F5= call (theirs, that
is %C )
the others are used other operators in the M/M as they prefer.
Also, you may want to read up on F11.
