This is a great feature of TRLog, and it allows you type a callsign
sent at 50wpm, and send hiscall and your exchange with ZERO delay,
without
having to press the INSERT key. When you type the fourth (selectable)
character, the program starts sending his callsign, followed by
your exchange info. The callsign is editable right up until the time
each character is sent, and will go out correctly on cw. 

Some training is required, because you have to remember "Don't
type the fourth character before you have received the entire
callsign." If you make that mistake, everything beyond the
fourth character will be obliterated by your transmitting, and the
other operator will be confused, because he will hear only a
fragment of his call sign.
