[WriteLog] Single key bandmap add

[Guy Molinari]

Good point AL.   This would definately be a bad idea.

I think I have found a solution inspired by Patrick W7TMT.  He states that a 
function key programmed with a '%b' will place the entry in the band map.   
There is also a '%w' command that does the equivalent of an Alt-W.   I 
programmed my F-10 key with an '%b%w' sequence and it works exactly as I 
would like with a single keystroke.

Thanks for the comments and the quick responses.
Cheers
Guy, N7ZG
