[WriteLog] PTT to CW delay bug

Mon Jan 19 08:53:38 EST 2004

Hi Dale,
the only way for me get a solid CW-keying was to start every F-key
buffer with a space. 
That works very fine and I am glad that WriteLog doesn't delete
automatically the spaces at the begin or the end of the buffers like
other programs do.
