There's a "Show Multiplier" choice in a dropdown menu.  The box that it brings 
up shows correct prefixs for all counties, and they change colors after being 
worked.  I usually use it on phone, since my SSB copying skills need serious 
work.

I didn't experience this, and almost every one of my Q's netted a 4digit 
number.  Perhaps the fix lies in reconfiguration of the entry window settings 
for the serial number field?

Now, if I could just figure out exactly what's causing windoze to dice up my CW 
keying....
