Right now the best way to do it is to create an empty Win-Test file for each
of your favorite contests, and program the CW messages to your preference
for each one.

Then, instead of doing File, New (which unfortunately uses hard-coded
messages that many people don't like), use Windows to *copy* the "empty"
preprogrammed file to a new name, then open the new file, e.g., from a
command prompt:

copy IARUempty.wt4 IARU2010.WT4
WT IARU2010.WT4

You can also copy last year's log to the "empty", then use the CLEARLOG
command to empty it of all QSOs.  Now you can use the "empty" file as a
"template" to create new files.
