[SCCC] FKeys for Writelog

[Dave LaBat]

I am also trying to decide if I should migrate to N1MM from WL. If I 
remember correctly WL already does this, if I am S&P and start to type in a 
call it shows, albeit in another widow, a list of probable RED dupes, if I 
dial off frequency I think it does wipe without my having to ALT-W, or I am 
just remembering something that has an autopilot part built in?

I am trying to get this to work on my netbook with my K3, make even more 
portable.
