[WriteLog] Re: issues--HOME key - return focus to log

[Eric Rosenberg]

I agree with Eric.

The additions being suggested are all interesting and could certainly 
be implemented.. but only if, as Eric states, "as long as there is a 
way to turn it off!"

That's the key!

One suggestion I would really like to see is a better way to get at the 
ini file.  A pull down box with tabs for the various categories would 
be great.  The ini file has been a big problem for me.
