Greg, Pete is correct. The term DX4WIN uses for LOAD is MERGE. It really loads in the other file. I have one called HOME.INI for home use, one called RTTY.INI when I want to do RTTY and one called WORK.INI when I want to just see my log and use the cluster through internet.
Set up the way you like for a certain situation and go to FILE|Preferences and SAVE under a name. Then set it up for another use/purpose and do the same. When you want to switch just MERGE the one you want into DX4WIN. 73, Dan KI6X -----Original Message----- From: Pete Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Aug 10, 2004 9:31 PM To: Gregory Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] INI files At 11:52 PM 8/10/2004, Gregory Brown wrote: >I've only been using DX4WIN for a dozen or so years, so please forgive the >ignorance! > >The help menu says: >"Saving your current preferences in an INI file allows you to restore your >settings to a previous >configuration.

Greg, if I understand you correctly, you go to File|Preferences, and then inside the Preferences Dialog open the file menu again. You'll see choices for Write INI file and Merge INI file. Under either of these you can name INI files anything you want, and then retrieve (Merge) the INI file of your choice to set or reset your Preferences. 73, Pete N4ZR The World HF Contest Station Database was updated on August 2, 2004 2753 contest stations at www.pvrc.org/WCSD/WCSDsearch.htm _______________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win
