// Status=review
Program menus offer many options for configuration and operation.
Most of the items are self-explanatory; a few additional details
are provided below.

.Show DXCC entity and worked B4 status
When this option is checked _WSJT-X_ appends some useful information
to all CQ messages displayed in the *Band Activity* window. The name of
the DXCC entity is shown, abbreviated if necessary. Your ``worked
before'' status (according to log file +wsjtx_log.adi+) is flagged
with a single character and a change of background color, as follows:
[horizontal]
!:: (bright green) -- New DXCC entity
~:: (mid green) -- You have already worked this DXCC entity but not
this station
:: (dull green) -- You have previously worked the calling station
The program does not distinguish between modes, but it does
differentiate between bands.
This option is mainly intended for use
on non-Windows platforms; Windows users can (and should) use VK3AMA's
excellent {jtalert} utility instead.
.Requirements:
_WSJT-X_ expects the file +cty.dat+ to be in your installation
directory. It contains DXCC prefix information, and updated copies
can be downloaded from {cty_dat} when required.
The log file +wsjtx_log.adi+ is updated whenever you log a QSO from
_WSJT-X_ (but note that it can also be erased from the file menu). You
can append or overwrite this file by exporting your QSO history as an
ADIF file from another logging program. Turning *Show DXCC entity and
worked B4 status* off and on again will cause _WSJT-X_ to re-read the
log file. Very large log files may cause _WSJT-X_ to slow down when
searching for calls.
