[Dxbase] Some novice questions

[FireBrick]

Let's take this a couple at a time.
Much of the filtering available in Alerts and also Internet Cluster options will allow you 
to see all spots, only worked but not confirmed, etc. etc.

And yes, during a contest, the spots come flying in, and the DX Info has to reflect this.

You can set how many spots are retained in the DX Info in the Options menu and yes you can 
scroll up and down.
Normally the most recent spot is at the bottom of the list in both Internet Cluster and DX 
Info windows

If you click on a callsign in both Cluster window or Info window, the Summary window will 
not reflect that callsign/entity
WITHOUT changing the radio.
Only clicking on the QSY column button will qsy the radio

You can also right click on an Cluster or INFO spot and select Log Current Entry which 
will put the call into your log and change the Summary without changing radio freq.
(a Escape Key will erase this trial log entry)


How's that for starters?
