KAM
CW
The PROSIGN command is used to select the character to be used as the lead-in character for
forming a CW prosign. When the selected character is entered during CW transmission or within
text to be used for CW transmission, it will cause the NEXT TWO character codes to be combined.
For example,
\AS
will cause the codes for A and S to be combined into the "wait" code or "AS".
