[Dx4win] Hmmmm - Now HOW do I do THAT?

Notes for THIS CALL will be copied to all notes blocks for that call.  
Notes in the THIS QSO block will only appear in that one QSO and will 
not be copied to THIS QSO blocks for additional contact with that same 
station.  Took me awhile to figure out that difference between the two.
