Hi Ken,
I have tried alot of the free programs. Including DXkeeper.
If you get to the stage when you want to try some more as you said, I
recommend Winlog32 from a screen layout, simplicity, and free cost
standpoint. It also instantly displays previous QSOS once the current QSO
is entered as you preferred.
It is not a DOS program, but I can run fine on it on my very old PC so its
good with resouces too.
I think it does everything you mentioned in your original post - I am not
a contester either, though it does have speed modes award traking, rig
control, etc.

I know there is a lot of programs with one for every Op's preference, just
put Winlog in your pocket to try for later.
Good Luck / 73's

Thank you all for the advice on logging programs. I found the utility in
Hyperlog to create an ADIF file. That worked fine and I imported that
file into DXKeeper. It all seems to be working, including rig frequency
read and control.
So far the contact entry does not seem very easy to use. Maybe there are
some hints I can pick up if I decide to give a bunch of personal
information to Yahoo. If DXKeeper does not "grow on me" I'll try some of
the others.
One feature I really want is to see previous QSOs with a station as soon
as I enter the callsign. I like to be reminded of a name and QTH for a
station I worked years ago. It would also be nice if the QSO entry
looked like a new line in the log sheet, instead of a bunch of spaces
spread out in a somewhat random manner in two dimensions instead of on
just one line.
My 23 years of computer log has not been lost, and I have several copies
of it, so I'll be able to play with many programs until I find one I
like. I'd rather be making QSOs than downloading, installing and
learning how to use programs though.
