[WriteLog] Pre-Filling Exchanges?

[gbaron]

I am sorry to tell you that it will not do that. It can work with only one
log at a time as nearly as I a user can tell. It does get data form the same
log. I tested this and started a new log for a contest that I already had
and it did not carry forward any data.
This would certainly be a very nice enhancement!
It may be that I missed something. It would not be the first time :-)
It may be that the authors philosophy is that this would be cheating?
It may be that it just has not been implemented yet.

I hope I missed something. I would wait for a response from the author to be
sure here.
