[Dxbase] Cell colors

[Art Searle, W2NRA]

Hi George,

As another suggestion you could make yourself a special column order file
for QSLing and you could call it "QSLing.CO".  Change your option on startup
to prompt for column order file and make your selection based on whether
you're operating or QSLing.

BTW you can also change the field order on the QSO lookup screen.

73,
Art
