[LOGic] Logform Issue

[J.A. Wolf, MD, K6JW]

Nope -- still not quite right.
What I WANT to do is to use the SAME database, but a different screen layout 
more suitable to the laptop single monitor instead of the home dual 
monitors. I should be able to load a specific logform to do this, but with 
reference to the same log database. There doesn't seem to be any easy way to 
do this.
