Hello, 

On the JARTS weekend I fired up RTTY on my new laptop to show the MMTTY
plugin to my dad. I ran into a few troubles I couldn't figure out. Any idea
would be appreciated how to correct them. 

WL 10.41B + MMTTY plugin 13, pc Compaq Evo N600Cc with W98 and 512 MB
memory. Upgrade path at install: 10.28 full install + 10.41B upgrade + MMTTY
13 plugin. Did I skip a mandatory upgrade?

1, PTT doesn't release at the end of the message. I tried to switch off
the diddle but the PTT did not release then either. Pressing ESC cleared it.
In CW PTT setup I have LPT pin 16/COM RTS clicked in. The keying circuit
works perfecly with the same sw on other pc and with other sw.

2, If I click on a call it puts me back to the RST field and not the age
field unless I disable the RST field in param setup. If I press a space
on a call in the call field the cursor goes right to the age field though. 

3, F1 brings up help. YES, I do have those ini-params added, with the right
capital/small letters, copied directly for the K9JY site and checked
dozen times. Strangely if I copy the ini file from the old pc where it
worked ok, it still brings up help. The message setup window says F1 in CT
mode. This drove me crazy. 

4, Sometimes (1 out of 3) there is a random character inserted before
the CQ (F11) message like NCQ CQ instead of CQ CQ.

5, Does the standalone MMTTY SW (currently 1.65) influences the plugin
directly? 

Any hint would be welcome. I am pretty much an rtty illiterate.

ps. It would be nice if the window arrangement would be moved from the
ini file to a seperate one to enable the users to quickly switch between
different window configs (SO2R, casual and RTTY in my example)
