You may alaready know this, but it took me a long time to discover that
you don't have to go through two windows to dial a number in your
directory.  After you hit shift F2 (call), just start typing enough
characters of a name to make in unambiguous and hit return.  If the
name is in your directory, it will be dialed, even if it does not appear
in the call screen.
