A while back I reported a problem with creating new filter selection names. Here's the scenario:
Filter -> Selection. Click on Add, and the top box now says "Replace this Name" -- so you start typing in that box. Here's the problem: If the first letter you type matches an *existing* selection, you are now editing *THAT* selection, and not the new one you created! For example, I have a selection called "2000 IARU". Say I want to add a date selection for calendar year 2000. I start typing "2000" in the top box, and now all of a sudden, the dates and check boxes get filled in as if I'm editing the "2000 IARU" selection, which I am! If you save this selection, you will have over-written the old one. I found a work-around, which I don't recommend (it involves editing your .DXL file). Give the new selection some weird name like XYZZY -- it must be at least one character LONGER than the name you really want. Then save it. Exit DX4WIN and edit your <call>.DXL file using an editor like Emacs. Search for the weird name XYZZY and change it to what you want (in the .DXL file, it said "XYZZYce this name", so I changed this to "2000Yce this name"). In my case, since "2000" was shorter than "XYZZY", I went back into the selection editor and carefully deleted just the last character from "2000Y" to get "2000" clicked Update than OK. Paul, I hope you understand this problem and can come up with a fix in the next revision. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.com PGP Fingerprint: D8E2 3D78 339F A7F1 8C13 1193 B5D1 4FB6 79D1 70DC
