Dick,

Something appears to be broken in your program. What version are you running? 
 With 10.26B I have no problem using the arrow key to jump into the log and 
then jump right back to the entry window with the opposite arrow key. This is 
true for both up arrow (which goes to edit the most recent call) and down 
arrow (which goes to edit QSO #1). 

73, Al  AD6E
