Kostas,

Yes, WL has a similar feature, but uses different keys.  You may have 
noticed if you hit the Enter key while the cursor is still in the Call field 
a little red box outlines the Call field area.  This red box occurs if you 
have %C in the exchange you are sending and it indicates you may type in 
additional characters while sending the partial CW string.  There is a 
command for the writelog.ini file to adjust the time this red box allows you 
to enter more characters.  When you hit Space to go to the next field WL 
continues to send any remaining characters and the red box goes away.  See 
the Help manual section "Special case:" in "CW and RTTY and Voice Memory 
Setup".  The relevant section is below.


the letter "C"
the contents of the "CALL" field in the entry window are sent. If the CALL 
field is blank, then the CALL from the previous QSO is sent.

Special case: If, when you press the function key corresponding to a memory 
with %C in it, you also have the cursor in the CALL field of the Entry 
window, then WriteLog switches to live CW transmission from the Entry 
window. Each key you type not only is recorded in the CALL field but is also 
transmitted as CW at the appropriate time. WriteLog shows you it has entered 
this mode by drawing a red rectangle around the CALL box. Typing BACKSPACE 
attempts to not send the last character. (Some CW keyer options (PK-232 and 
W5XD keyer) do not support this option.) Any characters following the %C in 
the memory are held until you tab or space out of the CALL field, or until 
the message being sent catches up to your typing, or if you stop typing for 
more than 1 second. (You can extend or shorten the 1 second delay using the 
LiveCwDelayMs entry in the [configuration] section of WRITELOG.INI.)

73,
Gary AL9A
