[WriteLog] Programming QTC Messages

I'm in the midst of setting up Writelog to run WAE RTTY tomorrow, and having
some problems figuring how to program the Shift-F8, Shift-F9, Shift-F10, and
Shift-F11 messages to communicate QTC group/count information.
Specifically:

(a)  On QTC receive...I type Alt-R and get the QTC receive dialog window.
The fellow at the other end tells me "QTC <group>/<count>".  I then type
that into the space provided in the menu, and then would like to transmit
the message back to him, "QRV <group>/<count>" by using the Shift-F9
message.  However, I can't figure how to get the message to pick up the
parameters from the dialog box.  Does anybody know how to do this?

(b) Similar problem with QTC receive....After the sender has dumped his QTC
traffic on me and I've keyed it all in, I want to send the confirmation
message "QSL <group>/<count>" to let him know I got it all OK and he can now
go his merry way.  Again, though, I can't figure how to get the Shift-F8
message to pick up the parameters.  Anybody know the answer?

(c) QTC send is a little more straightforward, I think.  I notice that QRV?
button starts out by sending <group>/<count> before proceeding to send what
you have stored as the Shift-F11 message.  At the end, though, it would be a
nice gesture to have the "QSL?" message (which simply sends the Shift-F11
message)  resend the <group>/<count> parameters.  Is this possible?

Surely I'm not alone in this today!
