[WriteLog] Keyboard and Macro quiry

[Don Hill AA5AU]

I didn't see where this was answered yet.  So here goes.

There a couple of ways of doing this.  You can have a macro that goes:

%C DE W9IXX/4 K

%C is the callsign that is in the Entry Window.

Also, you can insert from the keyboard with %I.

When you use %I in a macro, the macro stops and a small window opens where you
can type from keyboard.  When finished typing from the keyboard, hit Enter and
the macro will continue.

The only time I use %I is in a macro used to move stations from one band to
another.

Example:

%C PSE QSY %I DE AA5AU K

When this macro is transmitted, it will stop at %I and a small window opens
where I type in a frequency, hit enter and the macros is sent like this:

W9IXX/4 PSE QSY 21085 DE AA5AU K

For example macros (called messages) for each RTTY contest, refer to:

Hi agn,

During the test I was trying to insert some keyboard typing and then use a
macro.

I did "Alt K" then typed then "Alt K" agn then hit a "F" key to do the Macro.
This seems like a long way to do it, so asking if something shorter is
available.

EXAMPLE
In Macro have: "F5" have "DE W9IXX/4 K"
If during test a couple of stations come back how can I add the stations call
first and then "F5".

K5DJ "F5"  so it comes out:
K5DJ DE W9IXX/4 K

Tnx
Phil   W9IXX
PS:
Did not see this written.
