[WriteLog] MicroHam USB Interface Problem with CW

[n4gi at tampabay.rr.com]

You are correct, Bob, in that Winkey doesn't process PC generated code.  It would if it if was used with logging software that accepted paddle inputs, which WL doesn't.  With WL, it's just working in parallel as a stand alone keyer.  I've never understood the "paddle input" method of manual keying anyway, as it seems a bit Rube Goldberg-ish.  Paralleling the PC and keyer mechanically seems much simpler to me.    

FWIW, my Microkeyer did have some stuttering problems at 32+ WPM that I never originally experienced with LPT keying, but *I think* I fixed it by fiddling with settings, unplugging a USB card reader, and plugging the microkeyer into a different USB port on my machine.  I've also found rebooting is a MUST when changing some settings.
