[SD-User] SDI

[Fraser Robertson]

I also had this problem twice, causing me to reboot, unfortunately both
times during a run of QSO's.  In both cases it was when working non iota
stations.  Not sure if it was a typo on my part or what, but I got an error
message like '.blank.. enter return or esc for non island QSO's', or
something like that, but the PC had locked up.

Paul - would it be possible to have SD modify the sdconfig.txt file on the
fly?  Because following reboots in the contest, any changes I'd made to the
keyer memories were lost, which then caused me further problems/confusion
(e.g. having a #E on the end of a memory or not).  I remember having this
happen to me in previous contests.
