[WriteLog] Filter Reset by Clicking Spot

[Jim Smith]

Is it possible to send rig commands using Function keys?  If so, you 
could store the appropriate command in an F Key message to turn RIT back 
on or restore your filter setting.  Means you still have to perform an 
action but at least you don't have to take your attention from the 
keyboard/monitor.
