[Elecraft] XG3 CW Buffer

Does anyone know the trick to make the XG3 send its CW buffer memory.  I use
the tool to configure it:

WM,de_w6das_test;

I do WM;
unit responds with WM WM,de_w6das_test;
According to instructions, this confirms the CW buffer is programmed.

 If I do W;
Unit is supposed to send the CW buffer contents, e.g. ³de w6das test²

Instead it sends a steady carrier.  Not good.

If I use ³immediate² mode, e.g. W,de_w6das_test;
it sends once just fine.  All is good here.

I set up PF1 key, e.g. PF,01,01;
When I hold PF1 it sends out steady carrier.  No CW.  Before, it did the
sweep function defined under PF1.

I¹d like to be able to use the PF1 key without the computer attached, plus
the embedded commands available for the CW buffer.
Am I missing something here?
Firmware 1.14 appears current.  Utility 1.4.3.22 for Mac.

Thanks
