If you can't see the .tqsl directory, where are you putting the file? 
It looks like the software is telling you where it wants to find it.

I played around with the Mac TQSL software back when it first came out, 
but never did a lot with it. Nevertheless, when I looked tonight I 
found that I do, indeed have a .tqsl folder in my user root folder. I 
found it by going to Terminal and issuing an 'ls -al' command. I could 
enter it by issuing a 'cd .tqsl' command at the prompt.

You should also be able to access the folder from the Finder by using 
Go -> Go To Folder and then entering ~/.tqsl in the destination field. 
Once you're in that folder, I would open a new Finder window, go to the 
location of the TQ6 file you're trying to use, and drag it from that 
window into the window containing the .tqsl folder.

Hope this helps.
