Chaz,

I cannot reproduce point 2.

I have a dual monitor setup and the country
reappears in the same spot when I reopen DX4WIN.
I enabled:
Preferences | Screen | Leave all windows in original position

Paradox:  If you only want to do a Callsign lookup, you can never do a Manager lookup because you must put http://www.qrz.com/ in BOTH the Callsign lookup box AND  the QSL manager lookup box.

>When you ask that DX4WIN remember window position by Preferences/Screen and using the "Leave all windows in original position" checkbox, it does not affect the Country window.  No matter where you move it to, when you exit it comes back to the middle of the left-hand screen (approximately). Note:this only behaves as described on my dual monitor setup.
