[Elecraft] K2 commands - software guru help needed

Hi,
I hope that someone in the group who has intimate knowledge of the K2 software 
command structure and can help resolve a problem.
I am trying to use a well know Freeware logger program with my K2.
As the program supports the Kenwood command set, and that is what I am using.
The interface works well with one exception, that is the Mode selection.
It does not always correctly set the correct mode when clicking on a cluster 
spot, however a second click on that spot always gets the correct mode.

As the program has a Debug window I am able to look at the commands sent by the 
program. I have used Hyperterminal to send these captured commands to the K2, 
and observe the result. I need  know if the order of the commands sent to the K2 
is critical.

My question is, do each of the following command strings have the same effect on 
the K2 ? 

a)   FR0;MD1;FA00003727000;  - VFOA;LSB;3737
b)   FR0;FA00003727000;MD1;  - VFOA;3727;LSB

I know that the frequency changes correctly. Kenwood rigs do not appear to have 
this problem.

Any help will stop me scratching my head to pieces....
