[WriteLog] fmre problems

[Jerry Flanders]

I am watching the RCVD field. If anything shows there I put the cursor 
there and clear it, then prepare for a manual entry. It is a PITA, but 
still better than pencil and paper.

I probably missed several Qs early in the contest because I didn't notice 
right away. It maybe the module, not WL.

Years ago, my friend Forrest Gump told me:  Sh*t happens...
