Thanks for the info. about WF1B. I didn't mention, but should have, that
Writelog has a very handy facility, as follows.
When a callsign is preceded by de then it is highlighted. Green means a new
QSO, yellow means a mult, and "grey" means a dupe. You can then click the call
with the mouse ( gawd I hate using a mouse!), and the call is placed in the
log entry screen for normal processing. Of course some people ( K3WW comes to
mind) never use de and defeat the system! Also there is sometimes a need to
type odd calls that haven't been highlighted for some reason.
So Writelog has made it as easy as possible, but I really must learn to touch
type!
