[WriteLog] Request for additional small feature

[Jerry Pixton]

David,

The way I read the help file on Special Message Accelerator Keys, Step 4 
under S&P won't work - what is sent is TU QRZ DE K6LL or whatever is on the 
F3 key or wherever you have changed to with QrzFunctionKey= When the cursor 
is not in the call field, the Enter key (if activated) looks just like the 
+ key

BTW, I just checked the action of the Enter Key again using 10.29E and 
whenever you mouse-click a call into entry window the cursor moves to the 
next field - this destroys the logic of the Enter key. But on the other 
hand, most users would want that behavior because you are then ready to 
enter the next value. So I conclude that WriteLog has the correct behavior 
and I just have to not use the Enter Key logic. Just keep it as "enter qso 
into log" and find some other key to send CQ

I got to play yesterday with both Macro Express and Fkeys so I can use my 
mouse or my fingers. Will test this all out in BARTG sprint.

Jerry, W6IHG
