But this is harder to do. I have to select with the mouse AND use the
insert key, not just the mouse button which is much more logical and easy
to do. I still say it is a bug or at least a design flaw. At the very least
it should be an option. That is my opinion and apparently others too. It
would also get even more converts form TRLOG. One of TRLOGs best things is
that it si very well done for automatic S&P and CQ and doing exactly what
it should with the fewest keystrokes possible.

This is true , BUT the cursor jumps out of the Call field when you
use the <br>
mouse to select and enter the call,NOT GOOD, and now you have to
use the <br>
exchange key, not enter. It should wait for a space bar before it
leaves <br>
the call field as it does with a manual entry.<br>

By using the INSERT key, the last hi-lited call will be captured, placed
in <br>
the CALL ENTRY filed and sends the exchange. This is one way that one is
<br>
assured that the cursor stays in the CALL field until one moves it.
