[WT-support] Reminder: LUA script to ease ARRL Sweepstakes data entry: ExchangeBoxSS.wts

For those planning to use Win-Test in the ARRL Sweepstakes this weekend,
this is a reminder that there is a LUA script designed to make it easier to
enter the complex exchange in "free form," similar to TRlog and N1MM
Logger, so that you don't have to hit the spacebar so much to jump between
all the fields..  Assign it to the [Tab] key and it will bring-up a pop-up
data entry window where you can enter the exchange data all on one line
like this in almost any order:

123 b n6tv 72 scv
123b 72scv
b 123 scv 72 n6t? q

I've just corrected a bug found (thanks K5GA) that only showed up when you
were using both the ExchangeBoxSS script and the "Alt+D" (quick dupe in
secondary radio) scripts at the same time.

Download the new ExchangeBoxSS.zip from http://bit.ly/wtscripts and let me
know how it works for you this weekend.  See the Readme file for
installation instructions.

Quick start:

   1. Do File | Explore | /scripts directory and drag ExchangeBoxSS.wts
   into the directory
   2. SCRIPTS [Enter]
   3. Click on ExchangeBoxSS
   4. Click [Properties...]
   5. Click [Define...]
   6. Press [TAB]
   7. Click [OK]
   8. Click [OK] again

Type a callsign in the logging window and press [TAB], then type the rest
of the exchange data in the pop-up window, e.g.

1b 72scv


and press [Enter] to fill in all the fields.  Press [Enter] again or [+] to
log the QSO.

73,
Bob, N6TV
