>INITIAL EXCHANGE CURSOR POSITION = AT START

>Well, 2100Z rolled around, and my first qso was W5TFB, and
>the program brought up 51 STx just fine from the database.
>I then typed in his 1 Q, but when I hit the enter key to

>1Q51STx appeared in BOTH windows. The message PLEASE FIX
>EXCHANGE was displayed, and the contact could not be logged.
