selected instead of CTY.DAT.  Then type *REOPENNOW* [Enter] in the logging
window to activate it.  That will fix it.

Not sure what drove you up the wall.  The RTTY messages are stored in the
log file, so once you set up standard messages for an RTTY log, it will not
affect messages set up for a separate, CW log.  There is also the Alt+C set
of secondary (and common) messages that are kept in the configuration file
(so remain constant when you switch logs).

3. Minor: Dupe checking did not start untill I worked a dupe and logged it.

then dupes will be flagged with a red text message just below the logging
window, as soon as you type the last letter of the call.

Press F11 or Alt-W to "wipe" the line clear from the logging window.

Win-Test also offers Edit | Delete QSO, but it does not work with networked
logging.  DXLog.net does not supported this feature yet.  In the mean
time, *log
your own callsign* when you want to delete a QSO.  After the contest, frist
select *File | Close*, then *File | Clean log*.  Select the log file and
check *Delete from log:  QSO with myself* and press *OK *to delete these
QSOs.  Then reload the log and create your Cabrillo file (WRITELOG [Enter]).

All of this is the same as Win-Test
