[Elecraft] RTTY IN K3 TERMINAL PROGRAM

I have just begun playing with the RTTY mode.  I am limited thus far to using
the K3 Utility Program for typing my transmitted message, either free form
or Memory. I know I can use a CW keyer, but don't wish to; I'd rather use
the keyboard. 

What I am finding disconcerting is the inability to keep the carrier on
while I am typing a response.  Whenever the buffer is emptied, the carrier
turns off, and anything I type is not transmitted past that point. I did
read the Help menu and the Terminal Program is acting exactly as described. 
Is there someway to keep the carrier on?  I tried pressing the XMIT button
on the K3, and it turns on the carrier but doesn't allow any text from the
buffer to be sent.

I can accept it not being possible, but not finding it is possible when I
didn't bother to ask.

Please note I am aware of the multitude of computer based programs to run
RTTY.  I am just trying to answer this question as it relates directly to
the K3 Utility Terminal Program.  Tnx de K4SC
