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.

All agreed on the use of the + keys and inserted ? in the callsign  field.  
I've been used for these for a long time.
 
Are Laurent or Oliver able to add into WT a feature that keeps the  
operator's eyes open or prevent the lenghthening of response time, especially on  
sunday ?   
I hit this famouns bugs many times this week end !!
 
So, thank you guys for a well done software.  How many tens  of million 
points have been logged by WT this week end ?
