[RTTY] What abt LINE feed

[Dave Hachadorian]

Writelog doesn't highlight a call until two additional CHARACTERS 
have been received. They don't have to be spaces.

Example:
K7WM(space)K7WM(space)
In this case, only the first K7WM will highlight, at the time the 
second "K" is received.

Sometimes a fortuitous noise character will come along after a 
few seconds and highlight the second K7WM for you. When that 
happens, users who don't know what is going on are telling 
themselves "Man this program is really slow sometimes at 
highlighting calls!"
