Dick, I agree, that's why I suggested it be a 'line option' ... as
it may or may not have individual value to each WL user. It
might be something you use sometimes, or work away from
using over time ... or usage might vary with the contest ...
The more I use this software, the more ideas cross my mind.
Like remapping the LEFT/RIGHT arrows to take care of the
situation you mention below ... or make the SPACE bar toggle
ONLY between the CALL and EXCHANGE window ... or ....
