[LOGic] Frequency in Logbook

[Mel Martin]

Yes it is "different"... but you do get used to it... however I 
sometimes wish Dennis would take a careful look at Logic's ergonomics 
which strike me as it's only weak area. I prefer a logbook I can operate 
  with as few keystrokes as possible (like Writelog) WITHOUT clicking 
with the mouse. More than once I have been distracted from a QSO to 
fight with Logic ;-)
