I'll update SD so that the points won't change.

Yes, SD doesn't support direct editing of points (or time).
Normally it doesn't matter, as the points are usually
right - but here the points are wrong!
I'd suggest you use the edit facility in SDCHECK to
correct the zero point QSOs.

I can see that it would be useful to extract the callsign
when you type a matching membership number (followed by
Enter) - I'll add that, on the assumption that the callsign
will be the last field in the .LST record - as it normally is
when the membership number is the first. This will override
the QSY facility (on a matching number).
If you should QSY by accident, pressing F10 twice will get you
back to the frequency you just left.
If you type a number (or anything else) that you need to
clear from the callsign field, Esc or Minus are the preferred
options.

Yes, it wasn't working right, and SD did not identify the
bonuses for new DXCC countries - due to broken code that
I've now fixed.
This display is more useful when FOC.CTY is edited to
include only those countries with 1 or more FOC members.

You can initialise the screen display, and see the Score
window, with minus - in an empty callsign field. Otherwise
the country prefix window times out after about 15 seconds
and is replaced by the Score window.
