[Dx4win] Newbie User Question on Importing

Hi Folks --

Purchased Version 7.01 a week or so ago, and have been importing my old 
electronic logs etc.  Finally finished that, and now want to import my 
confirmations from LOTW.   No problem downloading the ADIF file from 
ARRL.  I've got a question on importing though

There are 508 entries in the ADIF file.   From reading the manual,  I 
know I want to use the "duplicate QSOs set upload confirm flag" for 
duplicate QSOs.  However, there are 47 additional entries in the LOTW 
ADIF file than in my DX4WIN log.   I assumed the 47 additional QSOs 
would just be added to the DX4WIN log,  but they are  ignored.

I then tried to import the ADIF file with the "duplicate QSO's are 
ignored" option and indeed the 47 additional QSOs were imported.  I then 
(again) imported the entire ADIF file with the "duplicate QSO's set 
upload confirm flag", and all 508 QSOs are now showing electronic 
confirmation.

So, my observation is that when using the "duplicate QSO's set upload 
confirm flag", and the imported ADIF file has QSOs not in the DX4WIN 
log, those QSOs not in the DX4WIN log will NOT be imported.   Is this 
correct?

Thanks & 73
