[Logic] LOGIC 7 keyboard "function keys" for cw question

Fri Jan 7 07:43:06 EST 2005

I love Logic... But NOT for contesting... Ergonomics are awful! Why don't
you consider one of the programs built specifically for contesting? I think
you would be happier...

>> Please advise - or is this a 'bug' that I should report so it
