[Dxbase] Rotor control Grid Squares

Hello Group
If I enter a grid square within the Summery Window while in “VHF-GRIDS” mode
and hit enter. The beam heading shows up with short/long path and distance. 
Looks great but, if I click to the rotor icon “Turn to Short Path” I get
“The beam heading information cannot be found
etc” dialog box.
I guess this may be because the LAT & LON fields are not populated and
DXBASE may be looking for the LAT & LON for rotor control. I can enter the
grid square, hit enter, the short/path fields are populated, click on the
rotor control icon “Enter Degrees” and then manually type in the direction
shown in the summery window.  This is a bit cumbersome but doable.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
John de KE5RS
