I was looking for the ability to enter things directly from the command line and have the computer available for something else. Also since a large percentage of what I do is public service stuff I wasn't finding anything that took care of such logging chores, so we had to start out inventing that wheel. sO I built the other modules for the bulk of the work my station does and then made myself a little module for contesting and another for dx stations etc. sOmetimes it's a little bit of fun to reinvent the wheel when the wheel you invent works as you want to work I guess <g>. I don't have radio control and all that, but my antique radio wouldn't support it anyway <g>. 73 de nf5b Richard Webb Electric Spider Productions "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." --- Benjamin Franklin, NOvember 1755 from the Historical review of Pennsylvania
