This never worked in previous versions. The latest version, just released,
fixes this with a specific setup: %P0 (P zero). Put that in one of your
function key messages and it will send the previous serial number.

A couple of things here. First, you don't need to right click and then
select Tune. Just double left click on the call and WriteLog will
automatically move the station to the QSO Entry Window and change your radio
to the frequency with rig control.

Second - and I haven't seen what you describe in the manual, so I'm
guessing - is that what you are describing might only work if you have the
'Enter' key function entered into WriteLog.ini. I think it's under 'Special
Accelerator Keys' where the help file talks about CT compatibility as well
as using the Enter key for functions (emulating TR). I'd check there, but,
as I said, on this one I'm guessing.

Hope you did well in the IOTA contest, Clive!
