[Dx4win] LOTW functions

H.O.,

	LoTW is a hassle to learn to use.  The ARRL knows it.  I talked to
em about it at Dayton.  They agreed the instructions need to be rewritten.
Unless someone shows you how, or you're just lucky, it's confusing.

Dear /mmx - 

I think you missed the whole point. However, let me say that using LoTW is
no more complicated than keeping track of your online LL Bean orders once
you sit down and use it periodically. Using once a year is not the way to
approach it. I speak from experience. 

I bet most issues can be traced back to the initial log entry point, if I
understand the premise.

Kostas, et al,

	Very true.  LoTW is coded to be about as user-hostile as possible.
The League has a full-time help desk (manned by at least one crabby S.O.B.)
dedicated exclusively to assisting people trying to unscramble confusing
LoTW instructions.

I had asked this in past.
Writelog has a feature like this.
It is under file>export>trusted file
You write how you want to save your file and after that with a magic way
writelog reads your certificates and makes a list. You choose the right one,
you give the password (which is saved for the previous time) and voila.
Sorry to say but i think the process as it is now is more confused and most
possible to drive us in a mistake...
