[Dx4win] LPT CW Interface Question

I have been successfully keying my rigs via the DX4WIN and the LPT ports 
for years.  Currently, I am using one LPT port for two rigs.  Each rig 
has its own interface and keying line and I switch between the two rigs 
(interfaces) with a manual switch.  The help file says that CW keying is 
via pin 1 of the LPT port.  It also says that when an LPT port is 
selected in the Radio 1/2 signal, the pin 14 line is active when the 
second radio is selected.  Does that mean I can use pin 14 to key the 
second interface (rig) and eliminate the manual switch?  I think so, but 
I want to be sure.

Thanks and 73,

Joe
