[WriteLog] highlighting rtty callsigns

[Jim Smith]

Hmm... and here I thought that WL just looked for a DE and a space and 
then accepted everything until the next space as a call.  It certainly 
behaved that way at times this weekend, highlighting all sorts of 
garbage between two spaces after a DE.  At least one call ending in L 
didn't get the L highlighted.  There was a problem with another call 
ending in H or P, don't recall which.  A /6 didn't get highlighted 
although no problem with other portable call signs.  I don't remember 
what happened with K6SEA.  I'm using 10.37 and don't recall updating any 
.dat file except cty.dat (there sure isn't much clutter in the SCP window).

I think there's more to this than the contents of a data base file.  If 
the call highlighting depended on the contents of a file then I don't 
think WL right out of the box would do a very good job of highlighting 
calls.  In my experience, it does, although not perfect.
