[WT-support] Fastest way to lose a QSO

Dear Win-Test Team:

I got a call from a local friend who managed to inadvertedly lose
(actually overwrite) a QSO in Win-Test with a simple key combination.
Of course it was partly his fault, because he failed to have a backup
of the file.

With the cursor somewhere in the middle of his log, he pressed
<Alt>-<UpArrow>. This key combination copies the data of the previous
QSO into the current line - which makes perfectly sense, when you
move a mult from band to band. However, it's very dangerous to use
when you're in the middle of your log - especially because there
is no way out of this situation (you can't undo and you can't quit
Win-Test without writing this information back to the file).

I'd like to propose to enable this function only when the cursor is
on the last line of the log.

73 Ben, DL6RAI
