Gosh, TNX to the multitude who replied directly.

FYI, install instruction data for the LPT1 port on the Direct IO WriteLog 
installation instruction page would NOT work on my machine.  I ended up 
with Mega-CHOPPY "partial" CW. Closing & reopening the WL file would then 
sometimes yield no CW.  Very frustrating.

Why can't DIRECT IO give such clear step by step instructions for getting 
to this info on an individual machin?  Not all of us a tech-gurus!  Once I 
followed the "new" fellow WL user instructions, a correction was made, the 
CW worked...but not until after the operating event was over.

Tnx again to all, and hopefully the above info may help another WL user who 
gave up on Direct IO, which I was just about to do!!!

73...
