My apologies Joe.  Most of the testers never run live data against the 
alpha until they have made some bare bones tests.  The way to do that is 
to set up a config-dir that is unique to the alpha test version. ie:

Easy on Linux.  Open a command line terminal, cd to the directory 
containing the binary

 >./fldigi --config-dir testdir

A little more trouble on XP and Vista.  Create a desktop shortcut to the 
application.  Right click on the icon and select properties.

Add to the end of the exe Target: line

--config-dir "C:\testdir"

or something similar.  The pathname to the testdir must be fully qualified.
