[WriteLog] Using %Fx

I'm trying to set up a macro to send the RST that I received (in addition 
to the RST I want to send out) - looks like the only way to do that is to 
use a %Fx sequence. According to the help file, that will send the exchange 
field from the entry window corresponding to the number (x is a number, 
starting with 1). But it doesn't seem to work...

I set up a new log using the "General DXCC Tracking" selection. That gives 
an entry window with "SEQ CALL COUNTRY C SNT RCV" as the fields. I then set 
up a message of

    %F1 - %F2 - %F3 - %F4 - %F5 - %F6

expecting to see the contents of each field displayed. All I got was the 
callsign (%F2) and a bunch of dashes

Tried the same thing using %Px (for the previous QSO) and got the same results.

Anybody know what's going on?
