[WriteLog] Dueling CQ's in WriteLog?

[Jerry Flanders]

Thanks, Mike

Yes - it  was this posting, along with a couple of other similar ones 
I discovered, that tell me that WL worked in the past to do exactly 
what I need. But it just doesn't work for me with V11.29b under Win7. 
I tried it yesterday before posting and again to make sure I was 
following instructions exactly.

I don't see the "CQ will auto-resume" message, and the focus doesn't shift.

If this is working for you there with a recent version of WL maybe I 
need to change some other option to make it go here. Please let me 
know what version you are using that it is working with.

Thanks again
