I have not tried this, but from reading the manual it appears that DX4WIN 
will catch situations where the import filter tries to put something in the 
STATE field, but the callsign is a non-US call.  Given this, it may not be 
necessary to pre-sort the US callsigns after all, as long as you don't mind 
error messages in the QSO notes field.

Also, note that you need to change your user level in Preferences to 
"expert" in order to be able to edit a filter.  The manual sagely 
recommends that you not do surgery on an existing filter, but rather copy 
it first.

In my 5.01 manual, pp. 91-111 are devoted to import filters and their 
modification.

In testing the copy feature, and then editing the copy, I found an 
interesting buglet -- the modification date given by the editor is 
12/21/1702.  A Y2K remnant?  Still in 5.03?
