Hi Eric,

I agree that there are times when automatically logging the Q before 
you've had a chance to edit something causes a slight delay while you 
edit the log.  However, I don't find that happens nearly as often as 
losing the Q entirely because I forgot to hit the Enter key.

I have indeed found that you can get WL to do what I want to do for S&P 
or for running, but not both.  I did try the menu option you describe 
once while running.  Then I did some S&P.  I don't recall exactly what 
happened, but somewhere during the first S&P Q a totally inappropriate 
message was sent.  That was the end of my interest in that menu option.

I would be delighted if anyone could tell me how to get WL to 
automatically log the Q in both S&P and Run modes.  That would be a real 
nice Xmas present.
