I can duplicate Phil's finding time and time again....

The setup here is essentially the same as Phil's: WL v10.30B with the MMTTY 
plugin. Dedicated RTTY PC is an Acer P200MMX with 64MB RAM and 4.3GB HDD.

As soon as I enter Alt-K, MMTTY starts transmitting without me even typing 
a single character... I am able to stop the transmit with an ESC and ESC 
also closes the window..

However, in the RTTYrite window if with a mouse, you select "File" then 
"Type ahead" all is normal....

or, from the keyboard, Alt-F and cursor down with the down arrow key to 
"Type ahead" and press "Enter" all is normal...
or again from the keyboard, Alt-F and then a "T" all is normal..
but the Alt-K alone consistently opens the Type ahead window and 
immediately puts the rig into transmit...
