Mel and Tom: Thanks for the prompt responses. I did something wrong in trying to print a range of dates (the CQWWDX2009SSB contest) QSOs. I used the filter command to separate them out, then printed. But I didn't use F9 to cancel the filter, although using the drop down I did cancel the filter there. Lo and behold, the contest QSOs had disappeared, not to be found again. I tried your suggestions, but couldn't find it. So I just gritted my teeth and re-entered the 240 contacts (from the printed pages). Some day I'll play with it again to see what I did wrong, but this time with a "practice" QSO file.
BTW, what is a file with the extension " ~xl " and how can I recover it? Also, when I click on "Backup" from the drop down menu, where is that back up file saved and what name is it given?
