[SD-User] Changed behaviour in ESM?

[Bert Hyman]

The AUTOFILL command is supposed to toggle that behavior on and off:

	When SD identifies district codes from the callsign, or from
	previous QSOs, it auto-fills the data in the exchange field.
	This may be a nuisance in S&P mode, as you then have to
	use F5 to repeat your own call. The AUTOFILL command
	toggles this feature On and Off – it has no effect when
	you’re not in S&P mode.

However, when I tried it during the recent ARRL DX contest, I found that 
it didn't do anything; I stuck to using F5.
