see man 1 tlf, search for "INITIAL_EXCHANGE" keyword.

You have to create a file with name as you want, filled by line
by line:
CALL1;NAME1 NR1
CALL2;NAME2 NR2

then in your rules/contest config file:

INITIAL_EXCHANGE=name_as_you_want

Note, that I've never tested it with two arguments - please refer
about it.

just see the top of the window, "line 1"

Couple of years ago I've started to make a better documentation,
but it was made in hungarian (I've edited it for my OM friends in
club).

Here is a small snipet from that:

move mouse over the picture, especially to "Log" text - that's
what indicates the current mode.

which settings want you change?

Anyway, in CALL field, just press ".", then you will see this at
bottom of field:

"Toggle <B>and, <M>ode, <D>upes or <O>nly multi filter | any other - leave"

so you can filter the current band with B, mode with M, ... these
characters switches the filter to on/off.

I think that's not correct. For this rule see UNIQUE_CALL_MULTI
keyword.
