It is definitely easiest to leave it as-is, and i havent thought up a
decent alternative.

Ok. In subversion there is a new option Tree->Options->Auto Load Mask
which will load the most recent mask file.

Hmm - we already have tree and book (which some people use as a
quickie mask/repertoire) windows, so wont be creating yet another one.

I am pretty sure i want to add the functionality of the (recently
added) Book Tuning "Add Line to Book" feature, as "Add Line to Mask."
but am not quite sure how/when.
