Joe,

I'm going out on a limb here, but this is my understanding of how it works.

The WL default setting, which is not explicitly specified in the 
[Configuration] section, is to look for a section in the friends.ini file 
called [HI].  That is why Don can get names to appear by using the %H 
command without changing his [Configuration] section.  But, if you want to 
add another custom section to the friends.ini file say for special messages 
to your real "friends", you can do this by creating a new section in 
friends.ini and call it something other than [HI].  For example, lets say 
you add a section to friends.ini called [CLUB] that contains the calls and 
names of your local ham radio club.

Once you've created this new section in friends.ini go to writelog.ini and 
add the following line to your [Configuration] section:

HI_SECTION=CLUB

This will change the section in friends.ini that WL will use in the next 
contest where you use the %H command.  If you wish to change back to the 
original friends list either delete the HI_SECTION=CLUB line or change it to 
HI_SECTION=HI.  Now the original [HI] section in friends.ini will be used. 
I think!

73,
Gary AL9A

I have followed the instructions to use the Friend.ini feature but I still 
have a problem. I think it might have to do with:

"By default, the section in Friend.ini that is used is "[HI]", but the 
"HI_SECTION" entry in the "[Configuration ]" section
of WriteLog.ini can be edited such that WriteLog will lookup some other 
section in "Friend.ini"

Here is the [Configuration] section of my WriteLog.ini. I don't see any 
"HI_SECTION"

I probably need to add something?

Thanks for reading.

73 de Joe.
