[Dx4win] Can't edit a call

[Dick Flanagan]

Just a note on the callsign change requirement:  there have been a few 
times I have been thankful for the quiet little "are you sure you want 
to do this?" prompt when changing a callsign.  Everything else may just 
be noise, but the callsign is primary.  That is why I never let that 
particular little feature bother me.

As for migrating that particular feature to contesting loggers like 
WriteLog, I don't think that particular idea would get very far.  
Contesting loggers are built for speed where people count keystrokes and 
bit rates.  Anything that would add to either one would be frowned upon.

Just my rarely humble opinion...
