[Dx4win] DX4WIN 909 config file : MORE QUESTIONS

[Radivoj Kar, F6GNZ]

 I am confused:In DX4WIN v. 8.0.5 config files were stored in Save directory as Config.INI files. For my different operating places and equipment, when Writing Config files I could name them as DX4WIN Home 7610.INI, DX4WIN Hyeres 7300.INI etc..
I could even load them into DX4WIN 9.0.9 from the 8.0.5 Save directory.But now, after loading them from 8.0.5 and writing them to 9.0.9 Save directory as ConfigHome.txt and ConfingHyeres.txt, I also see in the 9.0.9 Save directory the files config.dat and config.~at
What is the relation between these config.txt and config.dat files? Are these .DAT files reflecting only the current config status of the program?

 In DX4WIN 909 Help list it is written:
Write current preferences to a text file formatted as an INI file 

Saving your current preferences in a text file allows you to restore your setting to a previous configuration. This way you can save multiple preferences, but it also facilitates upgrading to newer versions when the format of the configuration file has changed. To reload your preferences, see Load Configuration File.  
You will be prompted for the name of the text file, which, by default, is the file config.txt in the SAVE directory. ????
WHY Config.TXT ??73, Radi f6gnz
