Tom,
	I agree that we want to be able to know what we've entered. I am
curious to know, though, if you remember whether removing JAWS in fact
solved the problem.

    Dave:

Please let me know what you are able to try, and if it resolves the issue 
with the N3FJP contest logging software.

Scott seems willing to work with us if the problem is on his end, but my 
theory is that it may be a Jaws issue of some sort.

I have tried your suggestion of removing Jaws, and just working with 
Kimberlee's wave files, but the problem with that approach is that you can't

edit your entries as you create them if needed.

This problem is indeed frustrating at times, so a good solution or 
work-around would be very much appreciated.

Thanks, and 73 from Tom Behler:  KB8TYJ
