[WriteLog] Problem with 10.45 %O command in macro

[Jim McDonald]

The * key on the keypad does clear the RIT with my MARK-V, and the %O clears
it in a message buffer.

If I remember correctly, TRLOG would use the shift keys to activate RIT down
or up respectively.  Writelog doesn't have that capability (with a Yaesu),
does it?

I don't know this for sure, but perhaps this isn't supported in Icom radios?

Try this.  Move your RIT, then hit the * key on the keypad.  Does it reset
it to zero?
If not, it doesn't work with your radio.

%O works with Kenwood radios.  I beta tested it in both the ARRL RTTY
Roundup and BARTG and it's a timesaving technique for those that use RIT.

The version 10.45 upgrade says:

* Add %O (RIT clear), %L (log the QSO), and %W (wipe the Entry
Window) commands to CW/RTTY/SSB messages.

On my IC-746PRO, the %L and %W work fine, but the %O does not work at all.
Any ideas?
