[WriteLog] Erratic CW using FTDI USB serial port

Hi all,
I have a G4ZLP digimaster pro+ which is basically an opto-isolator 
driven from an FTDI USB serial port. In CW it randomly goes mad sending 
all sorts of rubbish/garbage. It's not RF as i'm only keying the side 
tone, it's not the interface as it works fine with Logger32, SD and 
N1MM, but I'm hoping there is a simple line to add into the writelog.ini 
file to make it behave itself?
This has actually been bugging me for a couple of years and until now I 
have worked around this by using an old Winkey on the laptop's comport. 
But I've now changed the 'holiday laptop' to a newer one and it doesnt 
have a com port. I was hoping that the erratic behaviour was machine 
specific but its still the same on the newer laptop. If I can't solve 
this I'll have to go down the separate USB serial port route as I'm 
really reluctant to buy another winkey USB. In these times of 
extortionate excess baggage charges every LB/1/2 KG helps and the fewer 
cables/interfaces I need to pack the better it is.

Any advice would be appreciated.
