Hi,

   This feature would also be very usefull in RTTY:
In radio RTTY window you often have two callsigns (or more) highlighted.
I think than a new $PREVIOUSLOGGEDCALL variable could do the job. This variable
hold the QSO previously logged if and only if there is a new call in the current
line of the call field, here the procedure in RTTY:
- you hit silently enter to log the QSO
- you grab the new call from RTTY window or partner window
- you hit F7 with
in rtty
$PREVIOUSLOGGEDCALL TU NOW $LOGGEDCALL $GUESSEXCH $F2
or in CW:
$PREVIOUSCORRECT TU NW $LOGGEDCALL $GUESSEXCH $F2 (ok need two new variables)
- ...
F7 will replace the insert key in this case
