Bill, I use a .wl file called "AllDX" as my general purpose log file.  After I 
get so many qso's I up load them into DXBase2002.  To reuse the AllDX file, I 
"highlight" the first entry in the log, then I go to the last entry and holding 
down the "Shift Key" I highlight the last.  This will select ALL the records in 
the log.  Then I "Right Click" and select delete.  Writelog will tell me that 
the deleted qso will be gone forever.  I say Yes and the log is empty.  I then 
do a save.  And I am ready to go.  Works for me!!
