[Dx4win] DX4WIN Disconnects?

[David Kozinn, K2DBK]

There's an even easier way:

1) Start program
2) Left-click in the packet window
3) Hit Enter 3 times (First time brings up the "No connection" popup, 
second time closes that popup, 3rd time picks the top node in the list)
4) Type in call sign

(FYI it looks liek you only replied to me, so I'm cc'ing the whole list; 
I wasn't the one having the issue.)
