[Dx4win] External Program Callsign Address Lookup

[John F. Samuels]

First, I think the bat file and manager.res file should be in the
DX4Wxxx\Extdata folder.  Works mostly for me, although having some trouble
on Windows XP Home.  I am using this:

This file is called QSL.BAT

ECHO OFF
GOLIST.EXE %1>TMPQSL1.TXT
FGREP.COM %1 WWHAM.TXT>TMPQSL2.TXT
COPY TMPQSL*.TXT MANAGER.RES

FGREP is just a text search tool which outputs any line with a matching
search argument.

F3 calls QSL.BAT -- the name and path is set under File | Preferences | Ext
Data | QSL Manager Search | Executable Program.

Your program will only output the last line since manager.res is only called
once.  You can copy | append the lines and output all to manager.res.
