Done - cwmacros.dat.

The file - cwmacros.dat is delivered as default in the data folder, but 
if you edit it and place your edited copy in your log folder - that one 
will be read instead.
The macros in the file are loaded into the CW popup and certain 
variables are substituted at selection time.

For example
"CQ CQ CQ DE @MYCALL"
becomes
"CQ CQ CQ DE VE3VRW"

and
"@QSOCALL DE @MYCALL RST @RST PWR @PWR K"
becomes
"G4YIT DE VE3VRW RST 59 PWR 50 K"

and
"NAME HR IS @MYNAME, QTH IS @MYQTH K"
becomes
"NAME HR IS Don Agro, QTH IS Toronto, ON K"

Currently we are limited to 255 characters, but I have increased the 
text edit window size.

I  have made the dialog modeless so you can leave it up while you do 
other things within MLDX or other programs - but while it is sending 
the CW it dominates MLDX so as to ensure proper timing of the CW.
