[Dxbase] Cell colors

Mon Sep 20 11:20:37 EDT 2004

Both good suggestions. I think Courtney has a strong point, though. The 
trouble with keeping the Q in the log is that it shows up in the band-mode 
summary, and I really want to know if a box is blank vs. "W" or "C". I found 
out that my only JA on 40CW was a NIL--bummer!
