[WriteLog] Writelog is terrific

[Dick Green]

Al,

I disagree. I rarely need to edit entries in the log, and when I do it's no
problem grabbing the mouse. What happens much more often is hitting the
arrow keys one too many times when switching between the entry windows. I'd
say that happens several dozen times during a contest, forcing me to either
grab the mouse to click on the entry window or remember that Enter will get
me back there. It's an SO2R thing. Randy, K5ZD, who is a heavy SO2R op,
agrees with me.

What's wrong with an ini parameter that lets the user choose his preference?

Dick,

That is a great feature. Please don't try to delete it. Without it you'll
have to use the mouse (ugh!!) to find and edit a log entry. With this
feature, you simply up-arrow to the problem log entry and edit it. Then
down-arrow to get back to the entry window. Your hands never leave the
keyboard which is important. It saves time and effort. You'll really
appreciate this when you make a mistake and five other guys are calling you
while you hurry to fix it and get back to the run.

Yes, WL is a terrific program .. and it keeps getting better.
