Locust,
   Slow down and contemplate for minute... what part of Writelog's 
current behavior is getting in your way?  Are red letters all that 
scary? Nothing about Writelog as it is right now keeps you from working 
and logging dupes all you want.  You can simply not use the conditional 
"QSO B4" macro switchy-thingy (%B I think?)  You can ignore the red 
letters in the QSO entry window.  You can safely ignore the big red 'D' 
by the sequence number in the log.

   Which one of those things, exactly, is slowing your run rate?

73, Dave N6NZ
