[Dxbase] QRZ CD functionality

One of the oddities of various windows systems is....
that sometimes it's picky about syntax, and sometimes it isn't.
In the Directories submenu of tools>options.
In my CDROM Data Path box.
I must put \RAC\
Forget the last \ and it wouldn't work on this machine.
On my old machine, it wouldn't work WITH the \.
Try experimenting with that.
