[WriteLog] Friends File Question

Hello All,

I'm new to Writelog and actually just finished my installation prior to
BARTG starting.  I was able to set up the program with the help of Don's
(rttycontesting.com) website primer.  What a spectacular program.  I had
been using MixW, but realized quickly that it is not designed for contesting
like Writelog.  The MMTTY tuning indicator is really great.

During BARTG I was able to set up files for both CQ and S&P.  In all cases
everything worked great.  Only once did I get a "dupe" response (worked
before) and realized that I had entered the call incorrectly when I first
worked the individual.  Was able to go back and correct it.

One question on the Friends.ini file.  I've installed it into the
/ham/programs directory per help files, added the %H to my memory buffer,
but the persons name is not sent (even though it is in the file).  I just
get an extra space in the line being transmitted.  After review of the Help
files, I am still at a loss.  The Help file indicates that the Writelog.ini
should have a section titled [HI] but I don't find anything like that in it.
This is the Friends.ini file provided by K4SB.  Can anyone help in this
regard?

Thanks.
