Are you talking about automatically entering a callsign into the band map
and clearing the data entry window when you turn the VFO A knob?  That can
be enabled via the Bandmap Properties dialog, under "Search and Pounce"
options:

http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/Menu:Windows#Band_Map_properties

Note that you must have RUN/S&P switching enabled (not the default, text
shortcut: RUNSP [Enter]), and you must press Ctrl-Tab to toggle to S&P mode
to get it to work.  The current mode, RUN or S&P, is displayed on right
side of the Clock window whenever RUN/S&P switching is enabled.

N1MM Logger provides a way to automatically detect frequency changes, and
automatically switch to S&P mode.  Win-Test does not, nor is there in any
easy way to add this via a LUA script.

You do have to be careful after enabling this S&P feature.  You still
*must* press
Enter to log the QSO while doing S&P.  It would be nice if Win-Test would
do that automatically on VFO changes too, that is, if you work someone
while S&P, and enter the exchange data, then turn the knob, it would be
nice if Win-Test would log the QSO.  Currently the callsign can be wiped
clean (added to the band map only), and the completed QSO will never be
logged!  This can be a problem.  So you may not want to uncheck the "Wipe
the QSO" box on the properties dialog if you find yourself in that
situation a lot.
