[Dxbase] Special-1 import

[Fred Handscombe]

Yes I read all that

Please tell me EXACTLY where it defines the adif fields, specifically where 
it tells me that I need to use field SPEC1 to import something into the 
Special-1 column?  Which was my original question.

Searching on "special" does not reveal the information

Thanks

Fred
