Good idea. Let me see what can be done easily.

You mean if you type 'DL1J?' tlf should just send that out, drop the
'?' from the inpt field and leave the cursor at the end of the 'DL1J' so
you can ask for an incomplete call and just complete it? Should it also
only work in RUN mode?

Until now we have only F9 to normally send '?', but I think your idea
may be better. 

So let me think how it can be done with autosend in place.

Sounds reasonable. Let me try here.

I do not get the idea what it should do if pressed? Can you give me
some more infos.
