John, so far I have not been able to actually do this with my PRO, although
the manual shows in the list of commands one that should do exactly what
you want. I seem to be unable to either send or read the CW keyer memories
which the command wording suggests that I should be able to do.

The Command is '1A' and the Sub-command is '02' - I have no idea what the
Data Area should contain and there is nothing in the manual about that
which I can find. I would really welcome an Icom Command Set expert giving
us an exposition on the finer details of the PRO and PRO II command sets. I
can use some of them, but others are so much a matter of trial and error
with so many possible variations that I haven't been able to attempt them
all.

I tried MixW macros which I have used successfully for other purposes. Now,
I will try TRX Manager and Commander as you mentioned.

Please let me - and the list - know what you learn about this one.
