[TRLog] Very Pleased

[Bob Wruble]

hey if the ability to edit every contact in the log real time
is an issue then shut the pgm dwn and edit the log.dat file with ur text
editior and then go back in.......!!

from my experience alt-n works great for noting any suspected
probs with a qso past the last five........besides with all this emphasis
on logging accuracy edit situations shud be rare!!
