But this is harder to do. I have to select with the mouse AND use the 
insert key, not just the mouse button which is much more logical and easy 
to do. I still say it is a bug or at least a design flaw. At the very least 
it should be an option. That is my opinion and apparently others too. It 
would also get even more converts form TRLOG. One of TRLOGs best things is 
that it si very well done for automatic S&P and CQ and doing exactly what 
it should with the fewest keystrokes possible.

By using the INSERT key, the last hi-lited call will be captured, placed
in <br>
the CALL ENTRY filed and sends the exchange. This is one way that one is
<br>
assured that the cursor stays in the CALL field until one moves it.

&nbsp;&gt;When ENTER is hit wid the cursor is in the CALL window, it will
send the<br>
&nbsp;&gt;exchange. That is, I have my exchange on F10. When the cursor
is in any <br>
field<br>
&nbsp;&gt;other than CALL then F3 (%r%d TU GL QRZ? de W4UEF TEST%r%e) is
sent. Since <br>
my<br>
&nbsp;&gt;exchange is on said keys then the following is in
WRITELOG.INI:<br>
&nbsp;&gt;[Configuration]<br>
&nbsp;&gt;<br>
&nbsp;&gt;SendCallExchangeKey=10<br>
&nbsp;&gt;QrzFunctionKey=3<br>
&nbsp;&gt;<br>
&nbsp;&gt;Gud luck<br>
