Dave raised a few interesting points, and I may be able
to offer a few suggestions that may be of further help.

The thing to do, at the beginning of each session, is to use
the SETDUPE command - it has the effect of re-setting dupe
checking and ignoring earlier QSOs for this purpose.

The recomended way to do this is to use Enter from an empty
"exchange" field.  This will take to you the second character
of the RST field - ready to correct the received signal
strength.  Another Enter will take you back to the exchange
field.

Thanks - that's a bug that I'll fix right away.
