+=== 6^CLEAR/DUPEFILE^Clear out the dupefile completely
+The system maintains a list of duplicate announces and spots (amongst many
+other things). Sometimes this file gets corrupted during operation
+(although not very often). This command will remove the file and start
+again from scratch.
+
+Try this if you get several duplicate DX Spots, one after another.
+
+Please ONLY use this command if you have a problem. And then only once.
+If it does not cure your problem, then repeating the command won't help.
+Get onto the dxspider-support list and let us try to help.

+well as yourself, a lot of problems with duplicates.
