[Dxbase] I broke the Previous QSO's window in DXBase 2004!

Tom,
WOW!! I reproduced what you did and WOW!!! Yep - what has happened
is that the one file named pqsodflt.co got really messed up ...
I am sending you (via separate email) my copy of that file ...
It will get everything back in order ... BUT, as to why just hitting
the ESC key "many, many" times does this - Jack can answer that much
better than I could even try to guess ... I only know that when I hit
the ESC key (after bring up a bunch of QSO's in the previous QSO
window) -- the hitting of that ESC key just simply looked like it
was jumping from one field to the previous field -- BUT, when you get
out of the Previous QSO window - and then come back in -- WOW!! It is
a real MESS!!
I looked for anything in the ini file that would possibly relate to
the Previous QSO window and found the info about the pqsodflt.co
file ... so, I tried to "make" a pqsodflt.co file from the "Field
Order" utility - worked somewhat - BUT not really ... so, I grabbed
my pqsodflt.co file from my spare computer and copied it over
to the new computer - an VOILA!! I was back in business --- I am
sending you my 2004 version of pqsodlft.co via separate email
because we can not have attachments on the reflector..
But, the new co file will get you back in business without having to
re-do 2004...
