Yes, Gary has described eliminating the RST field very well. Saved me some
time tonight! Like I said earlier, I normally always
eliminate the RST field. If someone sends you an RST other than 599, you can
always just log the QSO and then edit the QSO on the
fly to change the RST received information from 599 to whatever was received.

As usual, Don has a great idea! Right now I'm pounding my head on the desk
muttering "Why didn't I think of that?"!
Go to Contest/Exchange Format Setup... In the "Edit QSO Exchange Fields
window" click on the RS Exchange Field indicator on the left side. On the
right side clear the check mark from "Prompt. Include in QSO entry prompt"
and click Save, then OK. Now the Entry window contains only CALL, NUMB,
COUNTRY, C, no RS field. Now when clicking a call with the mouse the cursor
jumps directly to the NUMB field - there is no where else it can stop!
If you ever have someone send you an exchange other than 599 make a note of
it on a scratch pad. After the contest go into the Edit QSO Exchange Fields
again and turn the RS prompt back on. Then you can edit the field for that
call before creating your Cabrillo file.

Yes, I believe this is normal. A way around it is to get rid of the RST
field in the Entry Window. When you eliminate the RST field in the Entry
Window, the cursor will go immediately to the number field when a call is
clicked. I know how to do it, but I don't have WL on this PC, so will post
how to get rid of the RST field when I get home tonight.
