Winlog32 utilises a word buffer arrangement for keyboard sending to Winkey, this allows on-the-fly correction of send text.
Each word is sent to the buffer ONLY AFTER COMPLETION, a space character signifies completion of a word, a space character must also be used after the final sentence is completed to allow the last word to be sent.
Correction can be only be done before the word is sent to the Winkey buffer.

Please Note:
Winlog32 has no connection with this product other than the software interface that Winlog32 uses.
If you require further information on the significance of any of the settings, refer to the documentation supplied with the hardware.
