    Howard:

It's good to meet you, and I hope this will be the beginning of lots of 
contact between us.

I am currently using Jaws 11.0.

The logging software has been developed by Scott Davis (N3FJP).

It can be found at:

www.n3fjp.com

You can either purchase the software programs individually, or buy the 
entire package for $39, which, in my view, is a bargain that can't be beat.

For the most part, the software works quite well, but does have some 
glitches such as the one we are currently discussing.

I hope this helps, but if you need more info or clarification, just give me 
a shout.
