Hi Bill,

I had a large number of QSO's in this test log and hadn't considered
deleting them one by one, but clicking and highlighting the first QSO,
then holding down the shift key and clicking on the last QSO highlights
all QSO's. The delete key has no effect at that point, but a right mouse
click, then a left click on the "Delete Qso" selection at the top of the
menu that appears wipes the entire log.

This is just what I needed.

Thanks Bill and Gil.

73,

Mike
