[Dx4win] Automating Internet/packet connections

[Duane Calvin]

As Jim, AD1C, pointed out recently, as long as your cursor is in the lower
part of the packet window, just hit "Enter" three times and you will come up
to the "enter callsign" prompt from the telnet server.  If you program your
callsign into one of the F-key's, then all you need to connect is three
"Enter's", and one F-key.  Hope this helps.

To connect to a telnet packet cluster is normally many steps:
Right-click in the packet window and select Internet Connection Select my
telnet host from a list Click a function key to login with my callsign Click
another function key to sh/dx

Is there any way to make all of this happen with a single function key?  The
bit that is stumping me is that there is no apparent keyboard shortcut for
Internet Connection.

I use DX4win while mobile, and occasionally have to reset the connection due
to cellular coverage.  All those steps (*especially* the right-click!) force
me to pull over to reset.  If I could just reach over and punch a button
that would be oh so much better.

Thanks in advance,
