I agree but don't enter TEST.BIN, just TEST. Ct adds the extension .BIN
when it opens the file. Don't make it too long. There is a limit of how
many characters you can use in your file. For example, I tried CQWPX2007CW
last time as a file name and CT just crashed instead of opening. I had to
shorten it to WPXCW07.
I usually do a test run using the file name TEST before a contest just to
make sure everything is working OK.
