I just purchased TRLog at Dayton, and am trying to get it going.  So, I =
will probably be asking a few basic (things I should already know the =
answers to) questions.  Any help is appreciated.

I cannot start a contest in DOS by the method in the manual (p.25).  =
This seems to be because the install disk did not put some kind of path =
statement in AUTOEXECBAT as it said it would do.  What exactly should I =
type into the AUTOEXECBAT file, and does it matter where in the file it =
goes?

The program is copying the dx cluster, but all I get is gibberish.  I =
dont know why.  The TNC is in the Terminal Mode, and works fine with my =
other TNC programs and contest logging programs.  Also, there does not =
seem to be any such statement as EIGHT BIT PACKET PORT =3D TRUE/FALSE in =
the LOGCFG.DAT choices as shown on p58.  I dont know if that would have =
anything to do with it.  The communication rate with the TNC is said to =
be 2400 baud, however the port speed is usually 9600 baud in other =
programs.  Could this be the problem?

I set up the Texas QSO Party as a test contest.  I can see a bunch of =
counties on the screen as mults.  However, these start with the letter =
"S" and proceed through "Z".  Where is "A" through "R"?  How do I get =
these up on the screen?

Thanks
