Indeed... If I get a partial, e.g. AP, I will send F5+F7 to send
"AP?".<BR>> No space in between the "AP" and the "?", however, as this can
also lead<BR>> to the other station sending their call before you have sent
the<BR>> question mark. <BR><BR>Another way : Enter the question mark in
the callsign field. Hit F5 to <BR>send "AP?". Or use Ins to send "AP? 5NN14
(or whatever)". And if you hit <BR>the space bar, the cursor will be located
under this character to <BR>complete the callsign.<BR><BR>> The easiest way
is, once you have the callsign correct, just hit the +<BR>> (plus) key,
situated above the ENTER key on the numpad, to send the<BR>> corrected
call, TU and to log the contact. Win-Test realises you have<BR>> edited the
callsign since you initially entered it and sent the exchange<BR>> so you
do not need to worry. Additionally, going to<BR>>
Options->CW->Correction->Smart Correction will enable smart
correction<BR>> which only sends the part of the call you have corrected
(e.g.<BR>> suffix/prefix only) rather than the full
call.<BR><BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>

<DIV>All agreed on the use of the + keys and inserted ? in the callsign
field. I've been used for these for a long time.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Are Laurent or Oliver able to add into WT a feature that keeps the
operator's eyes open or prevent the lenghthening of response time, especially on
sunday ? </DIV>
<DIV>I hit this famouns bugs many times this week end !!</DIV>
