Try the options for auto split in your *.wav file, it searches for silences of a length you can determine beforehand, (used primarily for making audio cassettes into digital single file(s)) and see if that will do the job for you. The menu looks like this: Split File Destination folder: rank\The Diary of a Young Girl, Definitive Edition 1995 Overwrite existing files Method of naming split files Use cue name for filename Use base filename and number Use cue name prefixed with base filename and number Base filename: track### - First number: 1 Prefix original filename File format Use CD compatible wave format and alignment Use default save format and attributes Use file's current format and attributes OK Cancel Help
Some of those are radio buttons for other choices to be used. That menu is under "q point" which is under "edit," in gold wave. It works, and it will do what you want. I recorded that book for my collection to a single 10 hour *.wav file at 22,050Hz mono, and had GoldWave split it into sections which had 3 or more second pauses in it. You can use any amount of silence you wish, and can adjust the threshold of silence to be handled, the point at which you wish queue points to be automatically dropped, and much more. GoldWave will then split the file from the beginning to the end into numbered file(s) automatically for you. Experimentation and adjustments might be necessary, but it works wonderfully.

I am told that I must set up the computer to record several hours of calls, then separate them into files where one call is saved as one file. I played with Gold Wave a bit yesterday. I could arrow through the Queues that appeared, but all I heard were numbers and what appeared to be times elapsed, but I couldn't tell whether these were the actual call or the silences between them. Thanks for your help.

It is quite a unique ability, better than Sound Forge which is not as speech friendly for that option. I don't know about Cool Edit in that regard.
