Bob,

I think there may be another way to get the %B action, but with a keystroke 
instead of a F key or programming an Entry window button.  Go to 
Setup/Keyboard Shortcuts... and map an unused key to a command called 
"EntryAddToBandMap".  Now when you click on a call in the RttyRite window 
and can't break his pile up just hit the shortcut key and it will post to 
the Band Map.  Another method is to use the mouse.  Left click on the call 
to put it into the CALL field.  If you can't work him right click the mouse 
and then click on "Add to Band Map".  You need a couple more mouse clicks 
this way, but if you don't have an unused key to program a shortcut too this 
will also work.

73,
Gary AL9A
