I simply moved the old TAMU tiger directory to /usr/local/share/xastir so if I 
want to use them again, I just swap out the OSM shapefiles to 
/usr/local/share/xastir and put the tiger maps back in to 
/usr/local/share/xastir/maps.  Works like a charm.  Perhaps there might be a 
way to do it from the menu-line without having the superimposition switching 
from one offline mapset to another.  Seems like anything in /maps is read 
together even if they are different mapsets.  I don't mind as the manual 
swapping works fine.

Turn _off_ automaps.

Put each map set in a separate directory under /usr/local/share/xastir/maps/.  
You can create any sort of tree you like beneath here, and as long as the user 
running Xastir can read the directories/files there, you're good to go.  I have 
lots of directories and subdirectories below my maps directory.

Select the directory with the Map Chooser to switch between map sets.
