Another way : Enter the question mark in the callsign field. Hit F5 to 
send "AP?". Or use Ins to send "AP? 5NN14 (or whatever)". And if you hit 
the space bar, the cursor will be located under this character to 
complete the callsign.

Another way : Edit a less used message (F6 for example) and enter :

$CORRECT ++TU-- $CR

If the callsign has been edited (and the callsign corrected) after 
sending your report (with Ins), it will be sent before the TU etc. If 
the callsign hasn't been touched, only the TU will be sent. BTW, the 
smart correction also works this way !

So do I ;-)
