Gary and all,

 

Well, I changed the order of the entry fields in the log entry window (via
drop-down menu: contest/exchange format setup)to CALL-NR-PR-CK-SEC and now
the order at least is now that way, too and the order I want to enter the
data. I have more to check out, but I think this may work..

Ray,

 

You may stumbled upon a bug in V10.79D at least as far as the SS CW module. 

When the call is entered in the CALL field, either by typing by hand or by 

clicking on call in the Rittyrite window the cursor is supposed to jump 

backwards to the NR field so you are ready to copy his serial number.  The 

SS module under previous WL versions did this, but V10.79D doesn't!

 

If the call is typed in by hand and then the space bar is hit the cursor 

does jump back to the NR field.  However, if the call is clicked on in the 

Rittyrite field the cursor jumps forward to the CK field.  This is wrong! 

The exchange will start with the serial number and now you must either hit 

the space bar 3 times to cycle from CK to SECT, SECT to CALL and then CALL 

backward to NR!  Or, after clicking on the call in Rittyrite click again in 

the NR field to be in the correct position to copy the serial number.

 

This is a serious defect in this WL module!  Any chance Wayne or Steve can 

find a cure by Sat.?  I sure hope so.

 

73,

Gary AL9A
