[Dxbase] 'Log Current Entry'

[Crownhaven]

I see what Ron is talking about.  He wants to make the actual entry in 
the log from the pop-up.  Right now, you click on "log current entry" 
and you then have to go down to the actual log and click on the next 
line to save it.  Personally, I like to look at all the populated fields 
and the current method makes me do this just in case there is a flub 
somehow.  But, I would be glad to have a way to save it in the pop-up 
too.  Not a bad idea.
