This is what I have done, When I view the new band plan file in notepad it 
is correct.
The band map windows shows my modified band plan correctly.
  when I click on my previous contacts or manually entered ones the correct 
mode is selected

However if I click on a DX cluster spot in either the spot window or on the 
bandmap, writelog always selects the mode according to the US sub bands, 
even though the US bandmap file has been modified as well (I copied my EU 
bandpaln file over the US extra bandmap file to see if this would fix the 
problem,)
I even tried a band plan with CW NOT permitted above 7040, Writelog still 
selected CW for any incoming DX spot on 40m.

I can send you my bandmap file if you think it would help.

This seems to insert the log window into the band map without logging the QSO

Actually I have found that I can add fields and if I make the title long I 
have a reasonable text area, I have added two fields, one for remarks and 
one for QSL info.
Still a short cut to add text (the pushpin thing) would be handy.

I know this isn't a general purpose log book program but I want to use it 
as my general purpose log for a few weeks so that I get very fluent with 
Writelog before I am under pressure in a contest.
