Jerry - I don't think so.  Mike just started using Writelog, so he probably 
wasn't here for those discussions.

Regarding the number pad use, the default of 10.45 has the 7 and 1 keys doing 
things that it probably should not default to, and I think Wayne commented that 
he will correct the default in a subsequent release.

To fix it now, open Tools, Keyboard Shortcuts, and find the entries for the 1 
and 7 keys, and remove them.  The numeric keypad will then be back to normal.

I would also like to know the answers to Mike's other questions.  

Regarding the bandmap, I am most curious as to why partial calls are placed 
there instead of it only being when you actually log a callsign.  The behavior 
I see is that for example, I hear K5NZ calling CQ, and only type K5N as I'm not 
sure of the last letter.  I hit F4 to send my call, and K5N goes into the 
bandmap?  Why does this happen?  Can I shut this off?  I end up with both K5N 
and K5NZ in the bandmap after actually logging K5NZ.  Talk about clutter!

73,

Bob N5NJ
