[WT-support] Sprint Logic feature

[Marko Derganc, S51DS]

Thanks for all replies. Learning curve is much faster with such nice support
over the Internet. I didn't even try with Automatic Guess Exchange because
feature could have negative side effects on low end PCs as I read in the
manual. I also didn't find any correlation with automatic dupe check and
Automatic Guess Exchange in the manual. So I thought it is "nice to have
feature" but not so important feature. Now I change my mind and I hope that
S59ABC PC is not too slow. Anyway, sooner or later we will get faster PC :).
