Tom,

Been tied up this weekend, first the NY QP on Saturday, and today a 
thing at church for my Pastor's 65th birthday,  so just now  poked 
around a bit more in AC Log.   Looks like the up and down arrow keys  on 
the PC keyboard do the CW speed change.    I figured there had to be a 
way to do it.
