[WriteLog] MMTTY 1.63 Problem Summary

[Jerry Pixton]

Alan,

Yes, this problem has appeared. I used 1.63 during contests in December and 
several of us had this problem. I put a "space" character at the head of 
each message for the Roundup. I did not see any junk characters. I also did 
one other thing that might have also corrected the problem. There is a new 
"echo" feature that loops back the keystrokes. I set that to the old way 
rather than the default.
