[WriteLog] update on log scroll

[Jerry Pixton]

Don,

I just opened the wpx log on this computer while I read your email. With 
the keyboard focus in the Call field of the entry window, I press Ctl+G, 
and absolutely nothing happens! Since Ctl+G is labeled "Go to QSO..." I 
would expect to be able to enter a qso number into some dialog window - but 
there is no window. If I place the cursor in the log window, selecting a 
qso and then press Ctl+G the highlighting of the qso disappears but again 
no input window.

Now if I try the "File, find callsign in files...", I do get a dialog 
window into which I can type "ve3xd". But rather than searching the current 
OPEN log, I get another dialog window that says "Choose the file to search" 
and if I then select the log that I am trying to search that dialog window 
goes away but NOTHING else happens.

So here I have two capabilities that I assume would "scroll" my log that do 
not work for me, and one that scrolls my log when I least expect it to.?????

Very puzzling.

Jerry, W6IHG
