Added [SN-] keyword = QSO serial, space, precedence (ex: 266 A in Nov SS). Added 2 serial number leading zero format keywords (macro).

Use `L` to recall - as B4. c) If `Printer On` was set from Ini file at program start, printer menus should be `enabled` without having to cycle the `Printer On` checkbox. d) Printer font size menu label (10 or 12) and is now correct from Ini at program start. Font type was and is {Courier New} for column printouts. e) More `tool-tip help` at mouse hover on labels and buttons. ° PAQP: Fixed ASCII log columns for EPA/WPA multiplier count and the multiplier list to printer.
