Sorry Kevin, I pressed "send" before I was quite done. In the CW keys 
right click on the one that reads FD-CW.mc. Download that file and save 
it to your N1MM directory. Now go back to the entry window, select file, 
open log in database, associated files, and in the CW function key 
filename line, click "Change" in the far right and find the sample 
function key file that you just downloaded. Click open when you find it. 
Then OK to close out the open window. Take a look at your entry window, 
see if the function keys are to your liking. If now they can be edited 
by going to Configure, change CW function key definitions. An editor 
will open and you can make the changes directly. Save the file and you 
are in business. I am sorry this took so long to explain, but it is much 
easier done than written about. With experience you will become a pro. 
If you have specific questions, do not hesitate to contact me. I am 
about done for the night but I'll be back early tomorrow. Hope to wrk 
you in FD. CUL.

73, Charles N2SO.
