[Icom] IC-756PRO CW keyer memory read/write

[George, W5YR]

Many thanks, Ekki - I will try these as soon as I can. I was setting up the
command as you defined it with the keyer memory number in the Data Area but
omitting the text.

How does the PRO return the text it already has stored and how does one
indicate in the command that the content of the numbered memory is desired?
Omission of the ASCII text in the Data Area?

The command is defined as Send/Read the CW memories so how does the command
differ between Send and Read?

Thanks again for sharing your know-how!
