Then something is wrong.  If you type the insert the INS key in the DX
spots window, it should add the word (HOLDING) to the end of the
window title.  Does it do that?

Holding allows you to scroll back and forth a window at a time.
Without INS, if a new spot came in, DX4WIN would return to the newest
spots.  It does NOT keep new spots from coming in or causing the
window to scroll a line at a time for incoming spots.  All it does it
keep the window from scrolling all the way forward if you have gone
back a few screens, and a new spot comes in.  This is obviously much
harder to deal with during a contest.  Sorting by TIME instead of by
ARRIVAL helps, because new spots take the place of old spots.
