[WriteLog] direct io

[john]

howdy,,  I am using writelog ver 10.67b on a IBM laptop using XP PRO
I am wanting to interface  to the lpt port to run cw.
Ive downloaded  program direct io and have no clue as to what to do next..
some help here??

In the event that this can not be done, I have  1 usb port in which I 
have an external keyboard--can a usb extender be used and can the usb 
port be used as a cw interface?
and/ or serial ports??--both serial ports are now or will be in use for 
digi and radio control

I hope this is clear enough
 many thanks
