[WriteLog] New Friend File - working??

[Jim McDonald]

Joe,

I had just a few contacts in the contest for fun, and I experimented with
the friends file for the first time.

After reading the help file (or was it k9jy.com?), I got it to work after I
added a new line to the friends line that was:

[HI]

The %H didn't work until I did that.  I had "TU %H" in the QSL/QRZ buffer
long enough to see that it worked OK.

During last weekends contest, SARTG, I noticed that the "Friend.ini"
file was not being read by my Function Key Message.  Why I don't know as
I always, because I am lazy, just import the messages from last year
contest.

The message I used is "%R%D %H 599-%3-%3 DE K0BX %R%E".

Now the only thing that changed is that I got the new Friend.ini file
just before the contest.  File date 8/16/03 07:58.

But when I replaced it with the older Friend.ini file, the message
picked up the name?

Has anyone else has the problem?  Could the file be too big for Writelog??

BTW I am a longtime user of WL.
