[Dxbase] Entering from paper log

Wed May 26 13:06:12 EDT 2004

Sometimes the tab key takes you from field to field. But my experience is
like yours, it's a tough slog with the "modern" UI.
I would want something where I enter fields in the order they're in my
logbook and just tab between fields and hit enter once to record the QSO.
And maybe have the date propagate from the previous QSO with just a tab.
If you have computer programming skills, maybe you can create an input form
convenient for your paper log, emit an ADIF file and then import the ADIF
file into DxBase.
