I personaly wasn't aware the existence of this contest. It looks 
feasible (no QTC, no exotic dupe processing... ;-)). We'll check that in 
time (the 2007 edition was in June AFAIK).

Just tested and "it works for me" (TM).

1/ Check you have a variable name definition in your extra data file, like :

# VARIABLE $OPNAME

2/ To confirm the variable is taken into account by WT, you can display 
it in the Extra info wnd (contextual menu). BTW, you can also add a 
title to these data with a line similar to :

# TITLE Name

3/ Use $OPNAME (the variable you defined in step 1/) in the CW message. 
Note that you can easily display the extra data automatically (meaning 
on-the-fly with no need to press the space key to make it updated), 
with an appropriate choice in the contextual menu.

4/ Finally, the CW variable substitution is *only* processed in the 
internal CW generation (LPT or COM pin CW output) as mentionned in the 
release file (3.2.0 (Aug 30, 2006)). Currently, it is not implemented 
for WinKey or other interfaces.
