Did not know this, but easily cured. I made a seperate profile under 
Gnome for TLF. I placed "gnome-terminal--geometry 80x25" at the 
beginning of the custom command line.

Ok thats fine as long as I know that is the way it is supposed to work. 
But would be nice if "enter" worked with/without autocq.

This is a new install on a new install of Debian Sarge. I decided to try 
my hand at doing my own logcfg. My mistake was I had "rig_control" 
instead of "radio_control". Took a while to find my error, but the -v 
switch showed the errors of my ways. Once corrected all is fine.

I only have 2 last issues that I need to clear up. I occasionally get a 
"rig link error". I'm going to try and lower the baud rate and see if 
that will clear the error.

I was under the impression that "rit_clear" would work on the Omni VI, 
but it doesn't. At least in my case. I'll work on this and see what I 
find, if anything.

Other than the last 2 issues, I'm hoping to convince the Field Day 
committee to use TLF for the CW tent. I personnally think it works 
pretty slick and is a keeper.   73
