[WT-support] RTTY "and NOW"

Automatic grabbing of a call like that sounds dangerous since lots of junk characters can look like call signs and wind up as the 'next' station.  I can just visualize "N6TV TU TNX...NOW P5ABC 599 050" ...like I'm really gonna work a P5 in an RTTY contest!

    How about left-click on the first station, then right-click on the 'next' station.  Instead of the normal F-key you use for "TU QRZ...", you use Alt-and the same F-key to trigger "TU...NOW PY4XLZ 599 315"

  Right-clicking is reserved for bringing up the "context menu" (pop-menu) for most windows, so is therefore unavailable.

  Perhaps the Intelligent Quick QSL feature of Win-Test is the right place to add this feature.

    1.. In the MSGS window, [+] key:  $QQSLC $CR

    2.. In the Quick QSL Window
      1.. RTTY short QSL:  $LOGGEDCALL TU NOW $INSERT 
      2.. RTTY long QSL:  $LOGGEDCALL TU DE $MYCALL $MYCALL
  Since $INSERT is supposed to simulate pressing the [Insert] key, it should grab the next call in the window (it probably doesn't work right today, but maybe this can be fixed).  I have not tried it yet.  Maybe you'll need to put the "$CR" after "$LOGGEDCALL".

  Finally, Win-Test needs to always send the "short QSL" message whenever a second unworked callsign is "stacked", regardless of the QSO count or timer.

  To preserve the current function, maybe there needs to be three quick QSL messages instead of only two:

    1.. Short QSL:  $LOGGEDCALL TU
    2.. Stacked QSL:  $LOGGEDCALL TU NOW $INSERT  (or $LOGGEDCALL $CR TU NOW $INSERT ? )

    3.. Long QSL:  $LOGGEDCALL TU DE $MYCALL $MYCALL QRZ
