[Dxbase] 'Log Current Entry'

[Ron Stordahl N5IN]

Yes I reassigned it, but I could assign it to another key, however this is not 
actually what I am talking about.

When you right click a spot it gives you an opportunity to log it.  But after 
doing so you have to take further action to actually save the Q so you can go on 
to another Q.  What I am suggesting is when you right click on the spot there 
would be an alternative option to 'log and save' in one action.  The log would 
then be ready for a new Q.

And Neil...I don't think one additional line in the right click options would 
confuse anyone.

Ron, N5IN

unless you reassigned it, f10 has always been for save entry, but only when 
there is an entry to be saved
