[Dx4win] EXT DATA -- from QRZ.com on line

That is not working for me in 6.02.  When I hit [ENTER}, it tries to open
the QRZ.com site, but flashes through it to a "Cannot display" screen. The
reason for this becomes apparent---the URL entered in the IE address bar is
www.qrz.com, but with the DX callsign appended to the ".com"!

Would someone like to take a crack at explaining that?

I wish to thank Chaz Cone for supplying the "magic" that allowed me to use
the QRZ.COM web access mentioned in the Version 6.0 manual.

The secret is to put the QRZ.COM URL (www.qrz.com) in both the Call sign
lookup address and the QSL lookup address sub windows of the EXT DATA
window. Then when one places the cursor on the Call in the regular QSO
window and presses the [F3]key a blank window appears with call sign in the
lower left corner. Now hit the [ENTER] key and the QRZ screen will appear.

Overall it is not as "slick" as pulling up the information from a CD that
has been stored on one's hard drive, but it does work.
