Could u possibly make a key stroke that would save the band map as
you describe and then automatically put you in the proper editor to
modify the log ? Easy up down thru the log with the arrow keys and
auto save changes when you exit (possibly with the same keys stroke
that took u to edit) back to the logging program would be nice.
Fast would also be important as this would most likely see
action during a contest. I think quite a few (or maybe I'm the only
one that makes logging mistakes Hi Hi) have resorted to the alt-n
or the jot it down stuff to make changes later. I think fixing an entry
during the contest while everthing is fresh is better. Having to exit to
dos, run an editor, open a file, change it , save it, exit the editor, and
then run tr again to make a modification is too complicated and
very slow. A quick easy alt-e type toggle to an editor would be slick.
Much more old stuff deleted....
How did this idea get bumped to 19th ? Hi Hi...

Thanks for the constant improvements....73 Bill N9BR
