[WriteLog] CQ WPX SSB Serial Number Editing?

Wed Mar 28 16:59:26 EDT 2018

Don got me thinking, so I reopened the CQWPX file and started playing.   
It appears that the only key you can (should) use for editing is the 
BACKSPACE key.    I could be wrong.  What I was doing during the WPX to edit
Say I copied:
SN 1240 and it s/b
SN 1340  I was using the LEFT ARROW to backup to delete 2 and type 3.
It appears that WL or the WPX contest module does not like those keystrokes.
It appears you need to BACKSPACE the 0, 4, 2 and then type the correction
Any other ideas that I am missing?
