It does work like you describe.
You can also typ TR NEW and it will even do it if you have
a logcfg.dat file in that directory already.

Some of this does exist - you can setup a STD.CFG file with all those
things that rarely change - like your paddle ports, radio information,
your grid (for beam headings) and many more things.

I am not sure I understand - since TR acts the same everytime I use
it just as if I was using it for the first time - I get the menu of
contests etc.

It does do this - and it should for you - maybe there is something
about the way you have something setup that is causing
it to act diffrentlly for you.
If I can help let me know.
