Has anyone played around with free form entry and SS yet?

I did a little last night.  I turned on the "free form entry", but when I type 
a callsign (first, right?  you need to do a dupe check before you S&P someone), 
it wants to turn the call into a QSO number!!!  How does one enter a call, then 
do free form for the rest of the report?  Tab or mouse over to the free form 
field? 

Someone else mess with this for SS yet?  Am I doing something wrong?  It DOES 
seem to work if you type a call, then press INS to send the exchange.  If you 
do that, then it populates the Call field properly, then allows you to enter 
the rest "free form", with the exception of the mandatory 3 digit QSO number.  
Oh, you didn't know that?  Seems like you MUST enter the QSO number as a 3 
digit number, (or maybe a 1 digit number might work) or else it gets confused 
as the check.

This free form thing can be great...once it gets working right, or someone 
explains how to properly use it.  Anyone know how?

Thanks,
Chad WE9V
