Not a good idea, in general, I don't think. (I realise you're saying we CAN 
do this, not that we MUST.) I find it's a good idea to munge (massage?) 
one's TRMASTER file for the smaller contests if one has a large TRMASTER 
that one uses for things like CQWW. The TRMASTER file then is attached to a 
specific contest by placing it in that contest's directory.

Maybe there's some command to point TR at a specific TRMASTER file, so one 
could keep them all in one directory if one wanted to be cluttered. I just 
spent ten minutes looking for my TR manual and couldn't find it, so I don't 
know. Time to download another one and print it.

Anyway, I vastly prefer separating the contests. I'm always confused enough 
as it is.

You mean because there's no longer any easy way to use TR? (tongue firnly 
in cheek there, for the humour-impaired).
