[WriteLog] Keyboarding skills

[Barry Kutner]

Hi Clive,
If I really screw up the call as I enter it, I use my paddles, which is 
wired in parallel with the computer keying output.
If I'm just a little slow, I hit INS after getting enough characters to 
identify the call, so others don't think it's for them.
Would be nice if that WL "little red box" was better correlated with 
real time, as it is in CT.
