[Dx4win] Small improvement

Wed, 20 Nov 2002 10:40:45 -0500

Along the same lines... I have a little trouble with the ergonomics when an
F8 fails to return the card due to it not being found...

At that point, if you enter another callsign to search for... it's in
modification mode for a completely unrelated record...

Sort of breaks the smooth flow of things...
