[WriteLog] Insert and plus keys assigned to comma and period

[kh6nd at lava.net]

Thanks to Don, W6OA for laying this out for those of us that realize
just how important it is to be able to reduce hand migration on the
keyboard to a minimum in order to maximize rate, and reduce fatigue,
especially in a 48 hour contest.

I have been remapping the Insert and + keys for years now with several
different logging programs, and for me it makes a huge difference.

My problem is, after many frustrating hours of trying, both on a Win98SE
machine, and with Win2000, I can not get Macro Magic to work. The other
keyboard re-mapper I have been using for the past year while trying to
make the transition to Writelog works to a point, but is less than
satisfactory, using up needed resources, and causing Writelog to crash
on SSB.

At this point I must ask, Wayne... PLEASE take a serious look at
implementing a keyboard remapping feature into WriteLog.

Thank you.
