[WriteLog] Why still no SSB message Mod ?

[Jim Smith]

Hi Eric,

While I concur with the others as to the likelihood of FD ops getting 
confused by too many buttons to remember, (I can't even remember all the 
buttons you have to push just to make an RTTY Q and have to have a cheat 
sheet) here's something I do which makes it really easy to remember some 
of the buttons.

Right above the entry window are headings for call, etc.  These are 
actually programmable buttons.  In CALL I store the message "Ur call?"  
I store appropriate messages to ask for repeats in the buttons for the 
other fields.  To send one, just click the button with the mouse.  To 
program a button, hold down the shift key while clicking the button with 
the mouse.  A little window will open up for you to enter the message.  
I think you have to hit ENTER to store the message.

This is all from memory but it should point you in the right direction.
