Haven't had trouble with the first character as described.  Was going to
suggest maximizing the screen.  Or press insert tab together see if it reads
right.  Just a thought.  Havent noticed that problem.

    Dave:

I don't think so, but I don't want to swear by that last statement.

I am currently having problems with the laptop that contains the N3FJP
logging software, so can't try it right now.

However, once I get the laptop back from the shop, I'll give it a try and
let you know.

Thanks, and 73 from Tom Behler:  KB8TYJ
