[WriteLog] newbie question

Yep, for a given contest, just go to CONTEST|Exchange Format Setup,
click on COUNTRY, and uncheck the PROMPT box.

Note that the parameters can be checked REQUIRED.  I've noticed that
some contests have parameters that are REQUIRED by the contest rules,
but are not checked as REQUIRED by default in the Writelog Exchange
Format Setup.  Thus the program will let you enter a Q that is missing
some REQUIRED information.  Thus I recommend reviewing these prior to
each contest, and checking the REQUIRED boxes for those parameters
required by the rules.  Many times I THOUGHT I clicked on the exchange,
but apparently didn't get it the first time.  When I tried to log the Q,
Writelog warned me that something REQUIRED was missing, and I could
still get it off the screen or ask for a repeat before it was too late.
