May as well allow horizontal resizing.  It would require calculating the
anchor of some screen blocks like the score window from the right
margin, I think.

The more the UI can be separated from the other code, the better,
methinks.

If no complaints, I agree.

Sounds good.

One few for the pile:  Accept master.scp, mastersx.scp, masusve.scp,
and masterss.scp as well as callmaster (case ignored) for the Super
Check Partial files.  Perhaps read them in the order listed and use the
first one found?  For now I download the one I want and symlink
callmaster to it, which works just as well!

I had to correct some things in the arrlss rules file (the check and
section are transposed in the macros) and will submit a patch later.  If
I get some time this weekend, this will be my first attempt at ARRL SS
with Tlf (it's been a lot of years since I tried SS).

Consider requiring a key press on the first screens when Tlf is started
without a log file.  They often close too quickly to read all the
details.  Subsequent runs can be as it is now.  An alternative might be
to have an option keyword (yet another!) in logcfg.dat specifying a
timeout in seconds for each screen where 0 would require a key press and
negative would disable them.

Thoughts?
