Alan,
The new versions ask during start up (now about V 6.54). You need to create
a sub directory for each contest with your version (or move all the files
out of the root after a contest). I make a directory called "Contests"
under "Log". Under that is each contest directory "JIDX2000", "CQCW2000",
etc. Then I launch TR out of this directory and since it is empty it asks
for all the info. I thought the older manuals talked about this.

P.S. Gone for a 4 day weekend so replying a little late. Made a couple
dozen JA QSOs in the test (and HA, S5) from the car in AZ. Got the mobile
hooked up in the new minivan while at the grandparents.

Subject: Re: [TRLog] Key words in the Manual.
What is the version of your manual please? I have TR-LOG version 6.17
(11-25-97) marked on my disc and version 6.16 (10 Nov 97) printed on the
cover page of my manual.
My manual doesn't list commands under alt- or ctl-.
I am a CT user since it very first came out but it doesn't seem to
support the JIDX, so I plan to use TRLOG for the first time this week
end in the JIDX contest. In starting the program how do I tell it I
want to start it in JIDX? It starts in CQ WW on it's own. I can do a
C:LOG>EDIT LOGCFG.DAT and change CONTEST = CQ WW to CONTEST = JA
INTERNATIONAL DX but this seems to be a back door way of doing it
compared to CT asking you on opening up to select a contest, mode, etc.
Also when you open CT it asks you to give a name to the bin file you
will be making. How do I tell TRLOG what my contest name will be?
Maybe I need a new manual if there is a better one out there. I have
had my TRLOG program for many years but have not used it until now due
to questions like this. Guess I got spoiled with CT and using it comes
very natural to me but I need to expand my knowledge base to include
TRLOG.
Thanks and 73
