It sounds like you whole log is somewhere. That's good. Just copy the *.~XL file to <yourlog>.DXL, use THAT file name then DX4WIN will work with it properly.
I have never heard of an option to delete a log. Maybe if you have opened a NEW log, and have never saved it before, DX4WIN will ask you about deleting it. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us
