Hi Ralph (and others),

This behavior can be controlled by setting up the parameters in the Exchange
Field. I have mine so that I ALWAYS hit the space bar between fields
(thousands of QSO's this way, too sleepy, habits die hard...). Check out how
to set the parameters on my web site and go to 'WriteLog Windows' and
'Exchange Format.' What you're looking for is how to set the 'Tab Only'
parameter.

Hope this helps.

CU...Scot, K9JY
