[Dx4win] Entering QSOs off line

[John & Becky Baer]

After spending many hours hand entering four years of paper logs into 
DX4WIN I have a few comments and suggestions for possible improvements. 
Most all of these relate specifically to entering QSOs off line:
    When CW is selected in mode, entering a sent RST automatically toggles 
to the Rcvd RST which then auto toggles to the next selected box, which in 
my case is "Notes for This Call". That's a nice feature which speeds hand 
entering.  However, the same does not apply to SSB QSOs. A manual tab is 
necessary to move from Srst to Rrst to Notes.
   Although Clover has been deselected in the Setup parameters, when 
toggling from SSB to CW the mode selection still goes through the Clover 
selection. Keying keyboard "C" also does the same thing, i.e. tabs to Clover.
    Once QRP has been selected to a Y(es) for a particular QSO that becomes 
the default until reset to "No". I don't know how many times I have 
forgotten to reset after entering a Y for one QSO. Twenty or so Q's down 
the line I happen to notice that the QRP is still set to "Yes" and I have 
to go back and correct the last 20 QSOs.  That is not what happens to 
"YLop" or "cnfm". They revert back to the default  "No". Probably the only 
time having QRP hold a YES default  be an advantage would be in a QRP 
contest. Perhaps make it a preference in setup for ops who only use QRP.
    It would be nice to have just the first letter of entry in "Notes for 
this call" default to a capital letter. I'm going to imagine that many use 
this box for name and QTH. With either entry, the first letter is therefore 
capitalized.  Some other logging programs do this and it's a nice 
time-saving feature. I do notice that the default for call entries is 
capital letters, as it should be. So I would imagine that the same could be 
done for the first letter of "Notes".
     I have other comments/ suggestions but this is already long enough and 
maybe we can address these a few at a time.
