"4. May we enter comments to document our .ini files?"

Convention in ini files is that hash (#) or semi-colon (;) can be used for 
comments. You may want to experiment with that.

Thanks to the helpfulness of the subscribers, my WriteLog is behaving itself 
and acting as a logger should. I needed that information on the .ini file 
since, as all of you know, a proper .ini is crucial to program operation.

I did not understand where/how to find the file; now that you showed me, it is 
just a matter of time/experiments getting the program playing efficiently. 
Fortunately, two extremely rare (for here) but timely "snow days" let me 
concentrate on the program. It is now working well for me.

That doesn't mean that I'll leave well enough alone, however! May I lean on the 
reflector for a few more questions?

1. Multiplier Window in WPX contests. It opens, but WL is unresponsive until 
the window is closed. Is this normal, or is there a setting?

2. K3 or K4 DVR Message kill. Once a DVR message starts, it plays to
completion: ESC won't stop it. How can this be fixed? Note that pressing the 
footswitch causes the rig itself to halt the message.

3. Are there setting that will prefill Log Submission Details, specifically 
Power, Xmtr, and Operator (single vs multi-op)?

4. May we enter comments to document our .ini files?

5. UTC display, with seconds?

Finally, in a couple of the direct replies to my help request, some mentioned 
disabling the "C" and "Country" entry fields for each new contest. There is a 
setting for that:

[Multipliers]
ShowCountry=0

does the trick.
