[Dx4win] Filtered Log

[Jerry Plemmons]

Mel and Tom:

Thanks for the prompt responses.   I did something wrong in trying to print 
a range of dates (the CQWWDX2009SSB contest) QSOs.  I used the filter 
command to separate them out, then printed.  But I didn't use F9 to cancel 
the filter, although using the drop down I did cancel the filter there.   Lo 
and behold, the contest QSOs had disappeared, not to be found again.  I 
tried your suggestions, but couldn't find it.   So I just gritted my teeth 
and re-entered the 240 contacts (from the printed pages).  Some day I'll 
play with it again to see what I did wrong, but this time with a "practice" 
QSO file.

BTW, what is a file with the extension    " ~xl "  and how can I recover it? 
Also, when I click on "Backup" from the drop down menu, where is that back 
up file saved and what name is it given?

Jerry, K6JRY
