Hi Andy

Tnx for your report.

Noted. Looks feasible at first sight.

Color management (and more...) for all windows is scheduled for version 
3. Please, be patient in the meantime ;-)

What operating technique are you using (Menu Operating / Technique) ? I 
don't detect such a behaviour (but I'm not very familiar with Advanced 
SO2R which might be tricky). Check also that Tools / Autmmatic CQ repeat 
is not engaged.

In keyboard mode, if the "buffer" contains several chracters to be sent, 
the only way to stop is to close the Alt-K window (with Return or Esc), 
and then, press Esc to stop sending.

Can you be more specific on this issue with the F keys ? Again, the 
operating technique might be of importance.
