It occurred to me later that GKeyFile expects entries to be key=value pairs. My list would seem to be breaking that as it would, at best, merely be a list of keys. I *think* that would be workable, but maybe not. I like your method of defining the alias mult and its aliases. In fact, for those parties that require it, multiple mults and aliases could be easily defined. for the 7 Land QSO Party it could be: NV:...,...,..., ... WY:...,...,..., ... etc. That is actually quite clever. 73, Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
