Dick's response echos my experience also. F3 to bring up the Lookup
window with response from your callsign database on your PC, and any
manager lookups (I use GOLIST which works great). Then, with this window
active, hit "Enter" and it will send the same request to QRZ.COM and a
browser window will open and you'll see the info there. I think this is
documented somewhere, but not sure where.

Well that is the best bit of information I have seen here for a while,
works great.
I have another way to get extra QRZ info if you don't want to go jumping
to the web site. I run a telnet session to a DXcluster node that
supports QRZ lookups, I have programmed one of the function keys in the
packet window "SH/QRZ%b" without the quotes of course, so alt/p then hit
the function key and put in the call and enter. The info comes up in
the packet screen. Not full blown pictures and biography but if you are
on say a VHF/UHF packet link it's another option.

Hi John,
Place the http://www.qrz.com/ in both the
callsign lookup address box AND the QSL manager
lookup address. Then you can hit f3 and then return to get to QRZ.
Went through this a while ago and now it works fine by doing it that
way.
