[WriteLog] Keyer Control Suggestion

[Rick Tavan]

Thanks, Richard. If all I had was a K1EL keyer, your suggestion might 
work. But I recently converted to MK2R+ and Writelog does some essential 
stuff knowing that's what it has. I agree that my suggestion to separate 
hand sending from computer speed would have to be optional.
