[WriteLog] rtty memory %M?

HNY,

My very first contact in RU had a malfunction in my rtty message for 
exchange (using F4). Writelog version 11.32.

My rtty messages use the Shift F4 message to hold the variable part of 
each contest exchange, eg "599 VA VA". My S&P report key, F4 contains 
"%M24" trying to link to the text in Shift F4. Also my Run exchange 
links to the same SF4 message with the contest report.

This is what worked before the cw and rtty messages were separated. Just 
after the separation, a "%M64" got to the rtty shift F4 text. But 
somewhere that changed back to %M24" I think. In the past several 
contests I have been fooled by the fact that my last rtty message 
contains some text similar to what SF4 holds - to repeat my exchange if 
asked for. So I had not realized that the very last message was being 
sent by default when the "%Mx" shortcut was failing.

Bottom line: What is the proper syntax to get to the shifted rtty 
message using the %M shortcut????? The help files still say to "use %M 
plus 20"

I need to fix this error before the next contest bites me again because 
I forgot to fix it.

Good contest - lots of signals.

Jerry
