Re: [Dx4win] MMTTY Function Key Messages
I've added Larry's comments to the bottom of this web page:

Thanks for the insight!

like FL_CW_bragsheet.txt and FK_RTTY_intro.txt and FK_PSK_callcq.txt. Then,
in the CFG macro definitions, I call those text files with the corresponding
macro string: i.e. Intro|%f..\macros\FK_RTTY_Intro%
It's a bit of a kludge, but has worked for me for many years. I suppose if
you really wanted to, you could divert EVERY function key as FK_RTTY_F1.txt
and FK_RTTY_F2.txt... and direct every macro to an external file.

Re: [Dx4win] MMTTY Function Key Messages
Thanks for the explanation, Larry. It seems funny they would be in
both the .INI and .CFG files, but your kludgy solution is actually
pretty usable and will take care of my needs.
Thanks, again

Subject: [Dx4win] MMTTY Function Key Messages
I have been using MMTTY with D4W and have made several changes to the
MMTTY function keys. The changes all take and appear to be
fine. What I would like to do is find the file where these function
keys are mapped so I can edit them off-line. I have looked at the
D4W.ini file, but all I see are the original MMTTY key mappings, not
the ones I changed them to.
Can someone tell me where these mappings are so I can edit them off-line?
Thanks.
Dick
