Hey OLivier et all

Thanks for a nice piece of software for making the RTTY Contest.

I played in the WPX Contest from time to time accululating 17 hours and made 
just less than 900 QSOs.
I made a small discovery.   Not a problem when things are quiet but in a 
pileup it was annoying.

When a stations sends you his serial number as
599123  and you click on this with the mouse - it captures the whole number 
into the logfield.

You then CANNOT EDIT THE NUMBER - and have to F11 (clear log entry) and 
quickly re-type it.)   I learned when received 599123 NOT to click the mouse 
but to type in the 123 manually.

When the QSO number is sent seperate there is no
problem.   I think the documentation for RTTY need to be a little clearer. 
I used the macros intended for CW
but I guess they are OK with a little modification.

I managed 3 QSOs per minute at best so in good condx with good ops  this 
could be sustainable for a period but of course like PSK there is always 
someone who wants to transmit his life story......hihi

Many 73 and thanks again for the excellent software.
