Yep. What you *can* do, though, is type his call sign in again, press F5 
and F2, and he will give you a new number (one more than the corrected one 
from the last time) which you can then log. So at least you don't have to 
lose a rare multiplier, even if you lose the time spent repeating the QSO. 
It's also a good idea with Morse Runner to train yourself to wait a moment 
or two after entering the exchange, just in case of a correction. That 
being said, you can still count me among those who would like to be able to 
go back and edit.

Presumably the problem with adding an edit capability in Competition mode 
is that combined with instant feedback, it would allow cheating. So, how 
about delaying feedback on a QSO (not only in the log window, but also in 
the score window) until after the next QSO is started (I haven't thought 
this through fully, but how about defining this to be: after entering 
anything except the same call sign in the call sign pane and pressing one 
of the command keys (function keys, enter, space, tab, ...)?

If the feedback was delayed until then, I think it would be possible to 
implement a quick edit capability something like the one in N1MM (ctrl-Q) 
which would be enabled only between the time a QSO is logged and the time 
the next QSO was declared started. In other words, you could edit a QSO 
only before its status was displayed, and after that the QSO would be 
frozen. Would that work?
