[WriteLog] More on ALT-F3/CTL-T bug

If I am reading this thread correctly, I don't think Wayne can fix this one.
When you type CTRL+T or ALT+F3, WL puts up the dialog box, allows you to
edit the string, and then sends exactly that string over to the
packet window. The definition of "packet window" is in WRITELOG.INI:

[OBJECTS]
pktObject=writelog.pkt.9

If you have the above, or if you have no "pktObject" entry in WRITELOG.INI,
then you are getting WL's packet window, and I need to figure out how
to duplicate the problem. Otherwise, you need to talk to
the vendor of your packet program about where the packet spots went.

It has also been reported that the text that appears in the Edit Packet
Spot window is wrong. That problem is in WL and I am looking for it.
