As a 'beginner' TR user (DOS-challenged), I'm having serious 
difficulty with Post - I need to create a Cabrillo file for last 
month's Oceania contest, and so far have been unsuccessful.
After running Post, as per manual, the Post R S I get 'there 
were no contacts found in the active log file'   
Changing active log file to any filename (that contained 
significant amount of data) in the directory, I get 'Log.Cfg not 
found'   I'm sure it's an operator ptoblem.
The editted log is still intact and printable as a paper log.
I would rather submit it as an attachment to e-mail, as per the 
manual - the contest organisers accept and encourage the 
Cabrillo format.
The TR manual is too cryptic for my limited DOS experience.

Could an informed TR user please step me through a simple 
keystroke sequence to get  my log into a Cabrillo file.

The shack computer is Compaq 486 - stable, DOS, and metal 
cased (very quiet, even on 160), so I need to transfer the log 
from the 486 to floppy, then use the house Pentium for e-mail.
I'm presently using  TR 6.59, but have 6.60 ready to install after 
I get through the VK/ZL log problem.   After that, I need to 
prepare for the CQWW - a paper log will not be accepted. 

73 and TIA
