Even if you don't have a mapping in XCSoar, Turbo still suggested a good way,
and the way I do it too.
Eg. I find a key not used, and then map that in the Input file to any event, or
even a set of events. You might add a button "X" that stops the current flight
log, and starts a new one.
So you can then test it on the desktop first.
