Paul,
The Website callsign and QSL manager lookup do not work quite correctly.
In the Setup Parameter, Ext Data section you can enter 2 URL strings.
The first URL string is for the callsign lookup and the second URL id for
the QSL manager lookup. When you are in the QSO window and hit F3 you
bring up the Callsign/Manager Lookup window. This window has 4 fields,
the text area, the callsign, the grid, and the QSL manager. I would
expect that hitting enter when the cursor was in the callsign field
would bring up a browser and execute the first URL string and likewise
hitting enter when the cursor was in the QSL manager field would bring
up a browser and execute the second URL string. However it does NOT
work this way.
Hitting Enter with the cursor in the text field executes the second URL string.
Hitting Enter with the cursor in the callsign field executes the second URL string.
Hitting Enter with the cursor in the grid field executes the second URL string.
Hitting Enter with the cursor in the QSL manager field does nothing.
The first URL string never is able to be executed.
I have found this to be true on both Windows ME and 2000 Profesdsional machines.
On previous versions of DX4Win when you were in the SSB mode the signal
report fields advanced automatically to the next fielf after entering
2 characters. On ver 6.01 the field advances after entering 3 digits.
Upon trying to enter the QSO you get an error message. I hadn't noticed
this before as a beta tester (I guess all 59 reports) but today I was
entering a bunch of mobile contacts. This is really not a problem but
just a difference which may be accidental and indicitive of some other
undiscovered problem.
