[WriteLog] Computer Control Problem with IC-7000

Brian,
    Do you have the CW column checked in the ports setup for the comm port you 
are using to control the 7000?  If so that is your problem, that will cause RTS 
and DTR to not be asserted, removing power from the CIV interface. This assumes 
that you are using a CIV interface that is powered from the comm port.
See the "Rig Interfacing" section of the WriteLog help file.
