I checked this, and it still works as planned... If I set CHAR to 2, and
type OK1RR 'ENTER', the whole call is sent. Sending starts after the 2nd
character is input, and the rest is sent after you hit 'ENTER'. You have
to practise a bit with this... it made me nervous at the beginning but
after some time you don't know it helps you in the background by
starting sending the call 2 chars earlier... You should start with
char=4  and speed=06 :) I am a fast typer, and I never needed this
feature.

Xterm does not have capabilities for this. The KDE terminal works fine,
as well as the GNOME term.

Repaired in tlf-0.9.30 for dxped mode.
In qso mode you can store the qso with '\' (backslash).
