[Dx4win] CW and Esc

[Kjell W. Strom]

Here it happens exactly like Nordir described, with 8.03, XP and
MicroKeyer. I checked back with 7.07.02 and it also does exactly
the same.

I can stop an outgoing message by hitting the "dit" paddle two
times.

Another matter: according to the MicroKeyer manual the data
bytes should be configured for one stop bit, but it looks like
DX4WIN is using 8N2 for Winkey.

Happy holidays,
Kjell, PB3SM - SM6CPI
