Yep, sure did notice that. Especially after it placed "///////" in the Mult 
column after I entered the QSOs. (Am using NA here).

Let's see if one of the computer guys here comes up with a "fix". The only 
way I could get it to "count" was to enter the callsign as TO4T/FG and if I 
were to turn the logs in like that it may cost me 3 QSOs and 3 Mults since 
that is not really the callsign he was signing! Ugly for anyone, and uglier 
for a small score like mine!

I did take a look at the Master Callsign Database, but am not sure I want to 
modify it on my own without some instruction. Seems confusing. 73
