[Dx4win] Problems automating telnet connection

[N3SL at aol.com]

Ian,
 
IF I'm understanding your question correctly, the solution is fairly  simple:
 
Edit the "dx4win.tcp" file in your "Save" directory (any text editor should  
work), and move K7AR to the top of that list.  Then save.
 
Once you start up DX4WIN, and you're ready to connect to a cluster, simply  
put your cursor in the cluster window (click, so the window is active) and hit  
the enter key 3 times.  Wham, you'll be at the sign in prompt of  K7AR.  All 
you're doing is taking the default answer 3 times, so you need  not type a 
thing.
 
Hope that's what you're after.....
 
73,
Steve

OK. I need to know which of my many Homer moments is  behind this ;). I'm
trying to cut down on the number of key strokes  required to connect to my
local telnet (in this case, K7AR). I brought up  the 'edit function keys'
window and created a 'BYE' key. That was a  no-brainer. 

But getting into the K7AR (or, I presume, any other) node  seems to require a
bit more knowledge of rocket science than I currently  posses! At first, I
tried just replacing 'N3RR' (where did that come from,  anyway?) with 'K7AR'.
But that got me nowhere. Then, I tried every mutation  of the string
(contained in the dx4win.tcp file) for K7AR I can imagine.  But after getting
nowhere with that, either, I'm still having to click on  the 'connect' button
and scroll through the pop-up list of connections that  comes up 'til I find
the one for K7AR, click on it, click OK, blah, blah,  blah. 

Surely this isn't the only to do this. What am I missing here?  

Tnx es 73, 

Ian, K5ZM
