Ernie ... we sometimes serious contesters appreciate you getting on and 
handing out some Q's!

I would suggest, however, you seriously consider getting a dedicated 
contest logging program (CT and N1MM are two that come to mind that are 
free) for logging contests.  That's what they are specifically designed 
to do.  They generate the proper Cabrillo files, keep a running score 
tally, multiplier tally, and check for "dupes", all in real time ... 
much better than DX4WIN can (or should) be expected to do.  It's then 
much easier to import that contest log into DX4WIN, than trying to 
"kludge" together a Cabrillo file from a DX4WIN file.  Being a log 
checker for the the Florida QSO Party, I can say with some certainty, 
"kludged" Cabrillo files are a nightmare to work with.
