[SCCC] FKeys for Writelog

[Glenn Rattmann]

Fair enough.  Your brain just needs a de-frag! ;-)

But, how can you live without this:
You are S&Ping your way up the band.  You start typing in a call to 
check for dupe.  You see instantly that it's a dupe (usually only 3 
or 4 characters are needed, because it shows you instantly by 
color-change the 'likelihood' that it's a dupe and your memory often 
tells you the rest).  Now-- you don't have to reach for the WIPE key 
or do anything else to clear the entry window-- you just turn the 
receiver knob and everything magically wipes and you are ready for 
the next encounter.

Kinda like the big red EASY button...!
