[Dxspider-support] Possible filter failure build 633

[Dirk Koopman]

OK, let's see if I can straighten this out.

1. sh/dx uses, /but is not/, Filter.pm
2. accept or reject/<system> is pure Filter.pm. Commands expect 
[/callsign/] [/slot no/] <keyword> <value> pairs mixed with and logical 
expressions like brackets /and/ /or /etc. /Callsign/ and /slot no/ are 
optional. Callsign includes the various options for *default names (e.g. 
node_default, in_user_default etc).

sh/dx has a short cut so that, should the user do a 'sh/dx <callsign>', 
it does not throw an error (as it would using acc/spot) because the user 
has not written 'sh/dx _/call/ _<callsign>'. *_This is not a bug. _*It 
is a convenience for users that expect to be able to do 'sh/dx 
<callsign>' and get some answers rather than a syntax error.

I could simply take that convenience away and then the interfaces will 
be (more nearly) the same. It is always an issue to get that "right" 
(again) whenever I do some major surgery on sh/dx, especially when I 
spend several days trying to improve the extra parsing to allow the 
users to do more things with it. Should I do that, I sure I shall be 
able leave you to interface with the users...

Sheesh
