Hi Ken,
I have tried alot of the free programs. Including DXkeeper.
If you get to the stage when you want to try some more as you said, I recommend
Winlog32 from a screen layout, simplicity, and free cost standpoint. It also
instantly displays previous QSOS once the current QSO is entered as you
preferred.
It is not a DOS program, but I can run fine on it on my very old PC so its good
with resouces too.
I think it does everything you mentioned in your original post - I am not a
contester either, though it does have speed modes award traking, rig control,
etc.

I know there is a lot of programs with one for every Op's preference, just put
Winlog in your pocket to try for later.
Good Luck / 73's
