[Elecraft] K3S Macro Programming - Rotating Macros

I am trying to program my first "Rotating Macro", where the PF1 Button 
will set SPLIT+1 the first time it is pressed and held and it will UNSET 
SPLIT the second time it is pressed and held.

I am basing this on the work by W8TN and LA3ZA, and others who have 
offered support here.

I have had PF1 as SPLIT+1 and PF2 as SPLIT+5.  They are saved in MACRO1 
and MACRO2, respectively.

I am trying to add MACRO3 and MACRO4 to CLEAR SPLIT and set to SPLIT+1 
and SPLIT+5 again.

I added the following to MACRO1 based on the Programmers reference:

MN110;SWT20;SWH18;SWT14;

#20 is listed as MACRO3, #18 is listed as PF1.

But, the SPLIT part of the MACRO works, but the MACRO is not 
reprogrammed.  So, little joy.

When I execute the MACROs from K3 Utility, the reprogram things fine.  
But not when I hold the button.

I hope I don't have to "add" these in CONFIG every time.  That doesn't 
make sense.
