[WriteLog] WL/MMTTY Problem

Thu Jan 5 23:27:07 PST 2012

Per my earlier message, when I changed COM ports in the clone window 
everything seemed to work ok, but I haven't actually copied signals over the 
air yet. I did not experience your problem with MMTTY.ini not updating. 
But then I didn't start a second instance of MMTTY from a different location 
and I closed the second MMTTY window and clone RittyRite window before 
shutting down WL. Maybe that's the difference?
