Because not everyone here use the RUN/S&P switch (I personnaly never 
did, and I know dozens of people who never do too). So, WT can't 
distinct if the callsign you entered follows a CQ *or* is an answer to a 
caller. Thus, WT enters it in the bandmap in every case, to be sure. 
BTW, I don't see any drawback to that.

I can't say much on that because I use 7 F-keys only (actually 4...), 
but it may be related to the fact that ByeByeCT is an interpreted 
program only which "replays" key presses. It means that, even if you 
don't see it clearly, ByeByeCT "opens" the additional message wnd and 
send the appropriate message. Of course, it is not as quick as a 
build-in function, but it can help some users.
