The keyer window, available under the Tools Menu, is in fact a simple
(contesting) interface for cwdaemon. You can program all of your function keys
with CW messages and control your speed here. Clicking the stop button or
using the 'ESC' key will abort any messages. You can also see a counter for
serial numbers, a toggle box for short serial numbers and a menu for selecting
either CQ or "Search & Pound" mode.

The bottom text entry can be used to typecharacters. The function key entries
can use the following macros:
- %
- - my callsign
- @
- - his callsign
- #
- - number counter
The number counter will auto-increment. The defaults dialog can be used to fill
in default reports for a contest, the # macro can be used in the TX(RST) field
of this dialog.
