Now that I've looked at the manual for the DX Doubler from Top Ten Devices
and the Manual for DX4WIN 6.01 I think I see the problem with SO2R
operation.  The DX doubler uses pin 17 on the LPT port for CW keying (High
state to key transmitter) and DX4WIN 6.01 uses pin 20(DTR) for CW keying.
As it stands even if I have File|Preferences|Control|CW Keyer Interface set
to "NONE" the radio selected is keyed as soon as it is selected. Both DX4WIN
6.01 and the DX Doubler SO2R box use LPT pin 14 for "Radio Select", so that
works fine.  The DX Doubler works correctly with Writelog and is advertised
as being able to work with CT, NA and TRLog.  I know at one time there
wasn't as standard for some of the LPT pins.  I don't know if there is one
now.  Hopefully, if I'm not missing something, the new DX4WIN program can
also be made to use pin 17 for CW Keying.
