Hi Jim - My first reaction to this was why would you want to log the Q
before you knew you had the TU message from the other guy?  However, I can
see your point that almost all of the time you get it, and if you don't, you
could delete the Q from the log.  (I'll bet most don't though, and just hope
for the best!).

I also have trouble understanding how you forget to log the call - I can't
imagine typing in a new call over an old call in the entry window, probably
with other exchange information already present.

I guess I just like my new girl better than your old girl...  ;-)))  Best 73
