[WriteLog] DXTelnet with WriteLog?

[Don Hill]

Many thanks Pawel!  This is valuable information a lot of us didn't
know about.  I've been a registered user of DXTelnet for a few years
and it's a top notch tool.  I'm glad I'll be able to use it with WriteLog
if I can figure it out.  hi

73, thanks again!
