[WriteLog] WRITELOG & MAKROTHEM TEST

[Don Hill AA5AU]

Callsign highlighting does not work consistently in the Makrothen module.  And
once calls stop highlighting, I've not found a way to get them to highlight
again without starting a completely new log.  Sometimes highlighting never
happens from the start.

I beta tested the module extensively when it first came out.  And a patch was
put out during last year's contest but that didn't correct the problem either.

A lot of work is put into these modules by the WriteLog team, but this one never
got fixed.  I don't have an explanation for the other observations.

Gentlemen:

Today, I upgraded to Writelog Ver 10.50.  All is well with the exception of two
problems:

1. Calls are not "highlighted" in the Rttyrite window.  I have the Master.dta
file 
    in the right place.  I read that this was a problem last spring.  I wonder
if there
    is a fix?

2. I am runnning the MTTY engine in FSK and all works as advertised except....
    The blue text in the Rttyrite window that is echoed form my transmissions
    is not all there.  The upper half of each letter is printed but the bottom
half
    is missing such  that I can't really read it.  The transmissions go out of
the
    radio just FB.

3. The same is true when I transmit via the "Alt K" method.   The text is
ok in
    the "Alt K" box but once it is closed, the blue echoed transmit text
characters
    are missing their bottom halves.

4.  Howwever, transmitting via the "Type-a-head" buffer results in perfect print
     and operation both in the Type-a-head buffer and in the Rttyrite window as
     echoed text.   The blue italic text is perfect in this case.

5. Also, previous blue echo text in the Rttyrite window that was unreadable,
such
    as a previously called CQ by me...now becomes perfectly readable text
in the         Rttyrite window upon exit of the type a head bufer?

6. Does anyone else have this problem?  Any ideas?  Thank you in advance.
