Recording is done with Ctrl - F button and not with alt -R/ Alt -W
You can store messages in Alt - F buttons if you record them first in one of
the F buttons and then rename appropriately. A bit messy but hardly ever
needed. Ten F buttons for CQ and ten F buttons for S&P is usually more then
enough even for general qso let contest alone. I used messages for general
qso including exchange, cq, qrz 73 etc recorded in two languages and never
was short of F buttons.

It is in the manual of SBDVP. You also have to make use of SBDVP
configuration.
Here is the extract from the dvp.asc file:
>>You can program all the function keys using the Alt-P command as
>>described in the TR manual. If you subsequently unload SBDVP us-
>>ing the SBDVP -u command, a file with the name shown while
>>recording it will be produced or overwritten in the current di-
>>rectory. If you add these file names as single lines in SBD-
>>VPCFG.DAT, SBDVP will load them when it is started in that direc-
>>tory. The BACKCOPY functions have not been implemented. Do not
>>enable BACKCOPY -- unpredictable things may happen.
I am using simple bat file something like this:
SBDVP -S1 -R21000
tr
SBDVP -U

You can have it enabled in both programs (needed for mixed mode contests),
or in sbdvp only for ssb only operation.
