As a user of WinTest ver 3.22, could someone please enlighten me? What is
ESM in this context?
73 and Thanks

You're right of course, but remember that v4 was announced with ESM (
finally) included, and is why I am here, as I wouldn't get out of bed
without it!
I doubt that $SPACEBAR can help as this can only be placed ( afaik) in
an F key macro, but I am open to correction of course. Equally I can't
see that editing esm.ets could help as it would need to know that the
call has been grabbed from the bandmap and I guess that this requires an
additional API call?. Again I am no programmer.btw I only use the
bandmap and " spots" from my own trawling.
I imagine that the base programme could address this. This would require
finite human resources of course which I understand are scarce, but
since the r'aison d'etre of V4 from my p.o.v. is ESM I believe it should
be addressed to make WT a serious player in the field.
