Yes, it does.  Actually WriteLog always did support COM ports higher than COM 
4.  It just wasn't easy to change.  In earlier versions of WriteLog, you could 
change the Commslots in the writelog.ini file as shown here:

http://rttycontesting.com/writelog/commslot.htm

This was changed in later versions of WriteLog where drop down menus allow you 
to select higher COM ports.  I'm not sure I posted this to the WriteLog 
reflector, but i created a webpage that shows how to view unused and hidden COM 
ports in Windows XP here:
