By default, Win-Test would (will) operate CW exactly the same way than 
CT does, the operators wouldn't even don't see any difference. If any, 
they can customize the messages and the behaviours at their convenience. 
See the url Larry sent to you in the above message for more informations 
on how to changes messages and behaviours using the CW variables.

Vy important:

  - all messages, including INS and + can be modified to fit your needs.

  - if you don't want to send QSOB4 in case of dupe, edit the message in 
INS (SHIFT+INS, or "Options | CW | Modify Standard Message") and remove 
the variable "$QSOB4" from it.

You have several settings the operators should take a look before the 
contest in menus:

  - "Options | CW"

  - "Tools | Intelligent Quick QSL"

  - "Tools | Automatic CQ repeat" (for 160 and 10...)

Of course, every ops are welcome to download the trial version to train 
with before the battle.

I also strongly suggest to activate automatic guessing (it is especially 
interesting from USA because you mainly work DX only) in "Tools | Data 
Entry | Exchange Guessing". That way, you will even practically never 
have to press the SPACE bar...
