TRLOG "INITIAL.EX"

Greetings

I have been trying unsucessfully to use the "INITIAL.EX" facility in TR.

We have a domestic 160m contest here in UK where a 3 digit county code
is part of the exchange (typically 5NN 001 SFK).  Having already a
listing of calls plus counties this looked an ideal application for
INITIAL.EX

I have my INITIAL.EX file in the log directory D:\LOG and my contest in
a sub directory d:\log\160test

THE INITIAL.EX file is "<call> space <county code><CR>" on each line.

In LOGCFG.DAT I have a line "INITIAL EXCHANGE FILENAME = INITIAL.EX" and
I have tried "INITIAL EXCHANGE = NONE and = NAME but I cant seem to make
it happen!

Also I have "EXCHANGE RECEIVED = RST QSO NUMBER AND POSSIBLE DOMESTIC
QTH"

The instruction in Appendix A about INITIAL.EX is quite clear about
names and Zones but not much else.

Any help or hints greatly appreciated
