Gilles,

My recent reinstallation does in fact save the files in the My
Documents/Contest directory, and just like 10.61E, 10.62H doesn't seem to
change when you edit the .ini file to point the default directory to another
location.  However, I didn't see the destabilization you're referring to.  I
edited my .ini file to change it to C:\Contest, but it still defaults to the
My Documents directory and the program continues to run normally. 

Apparently this switch in the .ini file doesn't quite work like its supposed
to, but I don't see it as a big issue in need of changing.  I guess for the
time being, you'll either have to adjust to where its storing the files, or
browse to a different directory each time you go to save the .wl file prior
to a contest.
