[WriteLog] Writelog 10.45 rig interface

[Gary Senesac AL9A]

'Rig Type' under Setup/Ports is configured correctly, however this window is
missing an entire column called 'Rig' which used to be there to set the Comm
port to be used for reading the rig frequency, changing bands, etc.  Where
did this column go?  There must be some way to set the communication Comm
port!  In the ini file?

Under Bands/Set Frequency&Mode there is a line near the bottom that says
'Log the frequency of QSO's' and a drop down box that is set to 'Rig on
Comm1'.  The only other selection in the box is 'Manual entry'.  I used to
use Comm1 for reading frequency, but couldn't get the rig to key CW.  Read a
post on the reflector from Wayne once that said Writelog can only work with
'standard' Comm ports and that add on cards may not work correctly, so
that's why I've switched to Comm1 for CW keying and Comm2 for reading rig
info.  Now I can't find anyway to tell Writelog to communicate with the rig
via Comm2.

Anyone have any ideas on why I'm missing the 'Rig' column in 10.45M?
