Gil, I'm guessing here, you may have to ask Jerry to be sure, but it =
appears that Jerry is using the FKeys software by Keith, WB6BIG. FKeys =
has a .ini file where the layouts of the menus are kept.
If you don't know what FKeys is, you can look in =
http://www.kregli.com/fkeys.htm
It's for those of us that would rather use a mouse (in my case =
trackball) instead of punching keys.

Gil, and others,
There is a technique used by many of us. I first heard about it from =
Dick Stevens, N1RCT. It makes use of Bat files to save and reuse a copy =
of the writelog.ini, and others like Fkeys.ini. Also can move your =
audio wave files into a general area.
I have a ham directory on my "data" drive (so it gets backed up) =
that has the following subdirectories (contest, inifiles, qso, =
satellite, and wavefiles). The contest directory holds all the logs and =
reports from past contests. The inifiles directory holds ini files =
specialized for each contest. The qso directory holds monthly writelog =
files for general dxcc contacts. The satellite directory has monthly =
writelog files for my satellite contacts. And finally the wavefile =
directory is where all the wave files are kept for each contest.
To get ready for each contest, I make new directories, make new =
copies of the batch file to save the contest ini files and to initialize =
the same files. Then I set up the WriteLog for that contest, copying the =
Function key message file from old contests. When all is setup, you save =
the writelog contest file and save the configuration files. I also make =
a backup copy of the contest file just before the test in case I have to =
restart things during the test. Also I make a copy for testing purposes =
to try logging contacts to see if all the behaviors are right.
Here is a copy of the save file from last weekend --
------------------------------------------

copy c:\ham\fkeys\FKeys.ini =
d:\ham\inifiles\Fkeys\Fkeys_cqww_rtty_dx.ini
pause
exit
I have NO SUCH DIRECTORY as FKEYS. Where did that come from.
My F Keys seem to be in the Contest FIle. =20
