[1000mp] How can I use my CW filters on RTTY?

Just finished WPX RTTY.  Learned a lot.  One of the things I learned is 
that when using AFSK with the Pkt input jack on the MkV the CW filters 
aren't available which made for a pretty miserable time.  I don't know 
why I'm using AFSK as opposed to FSK.  I think it was easier to do (no 
interface required) when I was first getting started with RTTY and have 
seen no reason to change.

So, what do I have to do in order to be able to have the Nor, Nar1 and 
Nar2 buttons select the same filters in RTTY/Pkt as they do when in CW mode?

It just occurred to me that K6SE's MPFilters might work for this.  Has 
anybody tried it to select CW filters when using RTTY/Pkt?  I see the 
possibility of a conflict with WL using the same comm port.

I was going to search the list archives for info on this.  I thought I 
knew how but I don't see any means of doing it.  Is it no longer 
possible to search them?  If so, that would be a real loss.

Another thing I learned is that selecting the APF DATA EDSP filter can 
put you in the position of seeing a 40 over signal from W5 on the S 
meter but not hearing it when tuned several hundred Hz away with the Nor 
or Nar1 filter selected.  Really irritating until I figured out what was 
happening.  After that it was just irritating.
