It can certainly be done.  Note also that if there's any weather
info for a station it appears before all of that other information
in the dialog.

First:  Xastir will only store/display 10 status lines and 10
comment lines, throwing away the oldest when a newer one comes in.
It does this by uniqueness, so if a station sends one that was seen
before then Xastir will just move it up to the top of the list.  So,
you can get up to 20 lines of this info listed.

You're proposing that we put the Comment and Status lines below
"Distance from my station:" but above the "Last Position:" line?
