[Dxbase] Xmas Wish List for DX Base 2008

>> 5) In DXCC AWARD SUBMISSIONS:
> a) Would like to see the CALCULATE button re-pressable! This is 
> quite annoying, having to quit the module and re-start it when selection 
> criteria changes.
> b) After it does the calculation and it asks you a great long 
> question with YES currently set as the default--two things: First, change 
> it to NO as the default (REALLY important, that one!!), and second, 
> re-phrase the question to something urgent and to the point. Maybe ending 
> with "Only say YES when you are making you actual submission to the ARRL!" 
> A way to undo an accidental "YES" here would be wonderful!

Great shopping list. I especially like this one.
This one bit me twice when I was first starting out.
Once because I didn't realize what would happen and the second time becuase 
I was 'rushing' and didn't read/remember what would happen.
It's especially backward as I believe you should never mark a qsl as 
confirmed/submitted till AFTER it's returned from ARRL.
I've gotten more than one returned as 'no documentation' or 'not acceptable 
for whatever'.
I also like the idea of a 'qsl info' option to change/update a qsl manager 
route.
I know how to do it, but sometimes in the heat of chasing some stations I 
put it off till later as it's does take a few moments.
Then I forget.
A easy way to move mulitple qsl paths from say #2 to #1 primary or change 
managers completely would be appreciated.
I like reading other peoples wishlists.
Many of which I slap my forehead with a 'Why didn't I think of that?'.
Happy Holidays to all.
