Hi Clive,
see answers inline. I hope they are of any help. If not, feel free
to ask further, although I have some problems with the wizard
myself still.

you have to change the dialog to allow input of whatever is
required. You also have to insert variables to store the data.
You don't need to input your own country, it can be derived from
your callsign (I would have to look up how).

I did not look at the rules, so I don't know what is allowed.
Multiplier and Points processing is done in the QsoAdd/QsoRem
methods.

Leave "Call=GW3NJW" as it is in writelog.ini and add an entry under
"[Multipliers]" saying "CallPrefix=DX1DX". This will make scoring
base on the call specified there.
