[WriteLog] F12 Key?

[Gary AL9A]

Jamie,

Apparently I am confused too.  You state that "F12 can be used for messages 
or commands..."  I agree that F12, or any key for that matter, can be 
programmed to play a message or command.  BUT, aren't we limited to mapping 
the messages or commands that appear in the drop box for Command to run:? 
There is no provision in the list of messages or commands in that drop box 
list for a Message12 or ShiftMessage12, which is what I think Eric, WD3Q is 
after.  Or is there some way to create a new Message12 or ShiftMessage12 
command in WL?

If we can create our own commands in the Command to run: box, that would be 
great.   Then, when I see my dogs crossing their paws in the middle of nice 
pileup I can just create a keyboard shortcut command, "WalkTheDogsNow", and 
have WL take of it.  This will avoid me having to temporarily QRT and trudge 
out into the snow.  It should help my scores a lot!

73,
Gary AL9A
