I love WL for SSB, but those who aren't CW ops or who haven't experienced 
the flexibility and intuitiveness of TRlog won't understand what is 
involved here.  Especially, when distinctly separate CQ and S&P mode 
exchange responses are needed in contest formats like the NA Sprint, and 
yet only require you to press the same <ENTER> button ONCE to get both 
(depending upon which mode you are in).

Being able to NOT have to screw around with additional keystrokes in TRlog 
is absolute King,. but until I can get DOS related serial port issues 
resolved, I've had to migrate to WL for CW to get moved from SO2R Wannabee 
to SO2R n00bie status here :-)

A big TNX to all who responded, either here or directly, with workaround 
suggestions.  Using a notebook computer without a numeric keypad, once I 
reprogram my X-Keys widgets with the WL F-keys assignments, I'll be close 
to where I'd like to be, but no cigar. K6LA's suggestions helped me make a 
final decision on things here (of course, subject to revision as needed :-)

There may be some WL CW ops interested in our NCCC Thursday Night "NS" (NA 
Sprint Format) mini-contests, so I'll post my entire Wl NCCC "NS" 
configuration (next) in case this might help some more CW folks participate 
in all the fun.

Tnx & 73...
