I'll definitely check this out, Steve.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I guess I missed it somehow, and it probably won't be the last thing I miss
in the program.

That's why it's always good to have a few of us around, so that maybe we can
all ultimately figure out the best way to do this kind of stuff.

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.
