I wouldn't want Writelog to do this. Sometimes when I'm running a pileup and
can't dig out a complete call, I might enter a partial call and initiate the
exchange with INSERT (CT mode.) For example, I only hear AA4, so I type in
"AA4", hit INSERT, and WL sends "AA4NU 599". You respond, "AA4NU" or "AA4NU
599". In either case, I want the cursor in the call field so I can enter the
rest of your call.

As for complete calls, I've gotten into the habit of hitting the space bar
immediately after entering the call. This has the dual benefit of performing
the dupe check and moving the cursor to the next field. If Wayne implemented
your suggestion, WL would have to be smart enough *not* to move to the next
field if I have already done so.
