[Trlog] Newbie problem/question

I just loaded TR 6.73 on my laptop, and have been following the example in
the manual
using the CQ WW DX contest.
My problem is that if I type even one incorrect character in the exchange
window, the program locks up.  Nothing will allow me to escape, as the
keyboard won't respond.  Even ctrl-alt-del won't get its attention.
Is this typical for TR?  I can't believe it is that fragile, after this many
versions.
I assume there is something I don't know about that has to be set?  Can't
find any help in the manual so far.  Any ideas what to look for?

Background:
Laptop is IBM 770.
Hard drive is partitioned for dual boot.  At startup, I can select Win2KPro
or MS-DOS to run.  Running DOS 6.22.  TR version is 6.73.

I'm not a DOS person, so don't have much experience with this OS.
Can anyone help with this?

Thanks and 73
Bob N6WG
