[WriteLog] ESM - Been there for years

[Jerry Pixton]

Charlie,

Actually, it almost works that way. There is a gotcha in there for RTTY. As 
long as you TYPE in the Call Sign which leaves the cursor in the Call 
field, Enter Sends... the report message as advertised.

But if you click on a call from rttyrite, the Call gets entered ok but also 
the cursor moves to the next field so Enter sends QRZ message, not the 
report that you want.

Did you find a way to keep the cursor in the Call field so that it worked 
for you?
