[WriteLog] More on Help returning to frequency

[Dave Henderson]

Rick et all

IF you use the <SPOT TABLE> what you say is exactly true, using F12 will 
always bring you back to your run frequency no matter how many different 
freqs. you visit

IF you use the <BANDMAP> then F12 brings you back to the LAST FREQUENCY 
VISITED ...NOT necessarily the run frequency
