[Logic] Another problem with F6

Mon, 22 Sep 2003 07:05:10 -0400

Actually, the version I used before switching to DX4Win used F11... And
didn't support Telnet... The current version does and also uses F11...
The spot grabbing was a little limited... It's not anywhere close to
being an alternative to Logic... Just an example of a simple entry
process.

The entry process... Was pretty foolproof... Could jump from field to
fields by <CR> or tabbing or shortcuts to go to specific fields with
shortcut keys... It was F2 to set the start time and F1 to save, F5 to
check the callbook, F4 to delete, F7 to create a label on the fly, F6 to
do a QSO note. Callbook lookup could be made automatic... Also you could
do net type operations by pressing F3 and selecting qso's and hitting
another key to update the sign-out time... Something not easily done
with any of the other programs, and something I miss. I can't ever
remember having the slightest problem with it once getting used to the
keys.

Actually Log-EQF... Though very easy to use... Is probably not the best
example as it's a lot more basic program... We still use it for Field
Day, for example, because it doesn't take much explaining. I find CT,
Writelog, DX4Win harder to explain because they have so many functions,
like Writelog, but the contesting programs especially have taken pains
to streamline the entry process. Of course, they are not particularly
good for general logging because they don't have the appropriate bells
and whistles we all enjoy in programs such as Logic, DXBase or DXKeeper
or DX4Win... To mention the ones I've actually used.
