For any veteran (expert) DXTelnet --> WL users, would be grateful for any 
assistance with the following conundrum:

I've been trying without success to figure out a way to get the previous 30 
minutes or so of spots into DXTelnet and through to WriteLog. It is easy to 
do this without DXTelnet. I just do a sh/dx/100 for example and the last 100 
spots pop right into WriteLog. Now that I am using DXTelnet, the sh/dx/100 
command does not pass the spots through.

Fabrizio suggested using DXPlorer. Great, the DX Cluster has a page 
/dxs/dx250.html and I configure to read it and grab the previous 250 spots.  
But I found out that DXPlorer does not pass the first batch of spots it gets 
from DX Cluster. It only starts passing the spots through on the second read 
from DXCluster and thus again limits DXTelnet to passing new spots only.

Have any DXTelnet users figured out a way to get any previous spots to pass 
through to WriteLog?  Obviously, the intention is to use this after being 
disconnected for a period of time, after a rest break, etc.

(If it was easy to switch WL back to its own Telnet client, I would do that 
and issue a sh/dx/100 command, grab the spots and change the client back to 
DXTelnet.  But it would mean changing the INI file and restarting WL each 
time.  Not feasible.)

Tnx vy much for the read es 73,
