[Dx4win] Wish list

[Mel Martin]

Check again... you should see this order: CW, SSB, RTTY, ASCI, ATV, and
so on.

I still think inactive modes should not appear at all... generally D4W
is very good at data entry in off-line mode without using the mouse if
you set up the "disable fields" which just disables tabs to that field 
... but if I enter an SSB contact followed by a CW
contact I have to hit the C twice when Mode has the focus to step
through Clover. Not a big deal... just untidy...
