Hi Andrew,
 
1. Add "AutoSaveCount=10" to the [Configuration] section. You can use any
number for the number of log entries before WL saves it.

2. I made up a Friends file of only people I know but then it also repeats
as you suggest. Good idea to have an option to show only once.

3. This bugs me too as you can never use all of the screen real estate
effectively.

4. Don't know.

73, Don VE3XD
