[WriteLog] Moving WL Setup to New Computer

[Ken Widelitz]

Hi Stein-Roar,

Thanks for the response.

I put the writelog.ini file on the desktop and used the Writelog startup
screen "edit" function to navigate to it and import it.  Keyboard shortcuts
show in in the Setup/Document Settings/CW-RTTY-SSB messages editor, so I
know Writelog is using the correct writelog.ini file, but it doesn't pick
up the Writelog windows settings. I'm using Win11 Pro.

73, Ken, K6LA / VY2TT
