I found that the modified RUN/S&P messages .. are reset by default as soon I start a new contest.<br></blockquote><div><br>Yes, because every contest requires different messages. Standard CW messages are stored in the .wt4 file (the log file), because every contest has different requirements. When you create a new file, Win-Test reprograms new default messages based on the contest, but many people including myself don't like these default messages. That's why I never use File | New; I just copy the old .WT4 file from last year and clear all the QSOs (via the CLEARLOG command). There's also a new text command, COPYLOGCLEAR that is helpful. See Release.txt in the Win-Test installation directory for the explanation.<br>

I'm assuming I need to tweak the ESM.WTS file . but I don't find it .. any help ?<br></blockquote><div><br>The ESM.WTS file does <i>not</i> contain any messages; it just simulates standard message keystrokes. The current source code for ESM.WTS in the Wiki, <a href="http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/API#ESM_Script_.28embedded_into_Win-Test.29">here</a>. I've just updated this section of the Wiki to explain how to program your messages when using ESM mode. Let me know if you have trouble understanding the new text.<br>
<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">I have a "short" keyboard that doesn't provide the INSERT button (the ones without numeric pad)<br>
Is there a workaround for that ?<br></blockquote><div><br>Yes, use DEFINEKEYS as shown in the Wiki <a href="http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/Menu:Tools#Redefine_keyboard_keys">here</a>. The screen shot suggests adding semicolon [;] as a synonym for [INSERT], quote ['] as a synonym [PLUS]. These work really well for a touch-typist using a U.S. keyboard, and I believe N1MM uses them as defaults as well. I am not sure if those keys are convenient on a European keyboard, so use whatever two keys are between the [L] and the [Enter] keys.<br>

I like to hear that Win-Test will improve the ESM support and I look forward to test the new features<br></blockquote><div><br>It is really up to us users to customize ESM.WTS to our own liking. The Win-Test developers are unlikely to make any more changes to it. I will try to see if I can get it to move the cursor the way you wish, and to send the callsign instead of a question mark, but I don't like ESM at all, as I prefer to have every key do the same thing every time, which is the old CT way. Win-Test was based on being keystroke compatible with CT, in case you were not aware of this. ESM function was added for those who preferred to use TRlog style.<br>
