[WriteLog] FW: WriteLog, MMTTY plug-in, MK2R+, Carrier only on transmit

Plain MMTTY, without Writelog, will send FSK. So it's something I have
wrong between WriteLog, MMTTY Plug-in and MMTTY.

I'm trying (for the first time) to get Writelog, MMTTY, the MMTTY plug-in
and an MK2R+ running for a few QSOs before the ARRL RU ends.

I can receive RTTY fine.

I'm sending carrier only.

When I have Writelog shut down, the microHAM router Ports tab, FSK says
"COM 6" and the PTT checkbox is checked. When I click Test and listen on
another receiver, I can hear FSK. I believe therefore that my MK2R is
keying the rig (PTT) and shifting frequency (FSK). 

The radio is an IC-7800 in RTTY mode.

When I fire up WriteLog 10.42D and configure the ports, I have selected COM6
in the RTTYrite window and have checked Software generated FSK DTR.

Under RTTYrite TU type (MMTTY) MMTTY settings, Misc tab, the Tx port shows
COM -Txd (FSK) selected, but it's greyed out. AA5LU's very nice tutorial
tells me that this is an indication that a port has not been selected. But
I think I have selected the Port in the Rttyrite window, it's COM6. 

Obviously I'm missing a step. Can anyone suggest a way to get TX FSK
working?
