Maybe.

It *is* a good idea, but see below.

Would customized-but-fixed exchange be tough?

Reserving comment.

Yes.

Essential (for me) capability: Enter part of "his call", punch the  
"send his call and exchange" function key, type the rest of "his  
call".  Result is sending whatever is in the "his call" field at the  
time it is sent, character-by-character.  For example, I can edit  
already-typed characters as long as they haven't been sent yet.
