[Dx4win] Problem with incorrect QSL manager info

[Mel]

Thanks all for the explanation.

I must say I prefer the way my old logger handled this. Changing a QSL 
manager in the log automatically updated the QSL manager info by 
creating a new entry and start date.

Perhaps Paul might consider changing this at some point. It would be a 
lot more convenient.
