Are you using TAB or SPACEBAR to move between fields?  Most people use
SPACEBAR, because it skips over the RST fields.

If you want both TAB and SPACEBAR to work the same, you can redefine the TAB
key using the DEFINEKEYS text command.

 I was a mixed (SSB & CW) entry in IARU, and was not using voice messages to

The source code for the standard Win-Test ESM script is published in the
Wiki, here<http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/API#ESM_Script_.28embedded_into_Win-Test.29>.
   I created a modified version of this script so that it behaves
differently on CW than it does on phone.  On CW, pressing Enter sends the
exchange (F2 message) just like the standard script, but on phone it will
not, you have to *speak* the exchange for every QSO.   In RUN mode, pressing
Enter once with a callsign and exchange entered in the logging window will
log the QSO and play the F3 (TU) message.

Is there a way to keep ESM active and not have to hit Enter twice on SSB?

Download N6TVESM.zip from http://bit.ly/wtscripts .  The Readme file
explains how to install it.  Please let me know if you think there is a way
to make it work better.

Yes, ESM and NOESM.
