Howard:

Yes, you're right.  You can record directly with the VGS1, but I have found 
that to be a bit impractical since you have to push the right button on the 
front panel for the particular contest exchange you need at any given time, 
and that could be subject to error.  I could program one of the PF keys (say 
PF A) to access the first TS590 record memory slot, but that only gives me 
one exchange possibility, and I may need more.

It's a possible work-around, though, if I can't get something else to work 
effectively between the laptop and TS590.
