You need to define a CW pin (COM or LPT) -or- a Winkey COM port.  You cannot
send CW to the FT-100D via CAT commands.

What is plugged into the Key jack of your radio?  Legacy keying circuit
(COM/LPT)?  microHAM box?  Winkeyer?  Electronic keyer?  Paddles?  You
cannot use the internal keyer of the radio and computer keying at the same
time.

You may need to use a second COM port for CW keying, and  an interface cable
to connect the second COM port pin to the key jack.

See COM port CW
keying<http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/Interfaces#COM-port_CW_keying>in
the documentation.
