[Dx4win] Ver 8.05 and Green Heron rotor controller

Maybe I can explain this a bit clearer.

When I click on a spot in the Packet field of DX4Win Ver 8.05 it populates the logging field with CALL, MODE, BAND and also the Beam Heading of the station automatically.  HOWEVER,  nothing happens at all in the DX4Win ROTOR TAB section where the Band Info and Beam Headings stay at the defaults of 160 meters  DISABLED and 0 degrees.
I have enabled the Bands of 40-6 meters to be rotor controlled (set to NORMAL in the Window) in the ROTOR Tab section of DX4Win.  I have set the port to the directly connected port of Com2 and I set the port speed to 4800 8-N-1 per suggestion from Green Heron.

I can manually plug in beam heading info or change the Band to an enabled rotor band in the ROTOR Tab section and manually cause the rotor to turn ok but shouldnt DX4Win populate the fields from the spot I clicked on?

Maybe thats a bit better explanation.

Thanks for any help...  maybe someone can at least verify that the ROTOR Tab does get populated from the spot window when clicking on a specific station.
