[Dx4win] INI files

[Dan Violette]

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.

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.
