My further attempts to resolve this situation lead to more confusion 
here. Hopefully what I relate below will make sense to someone out there 
re where a solution may lie.
I tried to use MMTTY as a standalone. It produced the similar problems 
with tx as described above. So I figured that I should try WL without 
the plug-in.
WL with the RTTY Rcvr gave me no decent copy on rx. On tx, rttyrite 
produced only the 1st 5 spaces any any given msg. Tx than hung up, but 
the manual esc key resulted in immediate tx to rx (no lag).. ALT K tx 
acted the same way-tx 1st 5 spaces in rttyrite window and then hung up 
when ESC key was hit.
Sometimes when I start WL I get an error msg. This has been going on for 
some time (even when the program worked flawlessly) but  I will describe it:
It pops up intermittently upon WL start and reads "UserPara.INI" 
followed by graphics which are not on my keyboard.

I then ran my virus program. All reported fine.

My next thought was that my copy of WL was corrupted. I made 2 attempts 
to download a replacement copy. In both cases
I got a message as follows: "There is a problem with the Windows 
Installer Package. A program required for this installation to complete 
could not be run. Contact vendor."

I've been working rtty tests for a long time and I hope that someone 
reading this can help me get back in the game.
