[WriteLog] v12.0 and Writelog.ini

[Alan Maenchen]

Perfect.

Just to note a detail:  The "contest selection window" is the same as in WL
11. The new buttons you refer to are in the initial "Writelog" window where
you can select a recent log or start a new one.

Great enhancement!  Thanks!

73, Alan  AD6E
