I need help setting up WriteLog ver11 to toggle The KDVR3.

Based on the manual, I've set keyboard shortcuts for four unused keyboard
characters: ( [ ), ( ] ), ( \ ) and ( = ). WriteLog accepted these as:

Rig1Command(10)

Rig2Command(11)

Rig3Command(12) and 

Rig4Command(13)

I then added the following K3 KDVR3 commands (i.e. SWT21 should toggle M1)
to writelog.ini that resides in the Windows file:

[Elecraft_K3_Commands]

Macro_10=SWT21;

Macro_11=SWT31;

Macro_12=SWT35;

Macro_13=SWT39;

When everything is up and running, I get the following indications when I
press the keyboard shortcuts:

[ -> Error result 1 sending rig command (10)

] -> Error result 1 sending rig command (11)

\ -> Error result 1 sending rig command (12)

= -> Error result -3 sending rig command (13)

Note: the WriteLog K3 interface driver is working FB for logging, Frequency
tracking and CW messages for F1, F2 . etc.

The K3 firmware version is 4.39 and the hardware interface is a microHam USB
Interface II (serial# 001)

That's it in a nutshell. Thanks in advance for any help from the Elecraft
blog.
