If you are using a Bencher paddle then you are using the internal keyer, which 
generates the CW elements and sets the weight.  Writelog generates the CW 
elements itself and keys the K2 as though it were a straight key.  The K2's 
autodetect circuit allows you to activate your internal keyer with the paddle 
while treating the computer interface as a straight key.
