I use one BW and the: 
 Packet Preference Override
or
 Msg Area Preference Override
and select which BBS I want to configure. 

You can go back and configure the other BBS with another file(s) 
for more SIG / Taglines, as long as you realize that all those 
little SIG files can mount up. 
Of course, you can use the same file(s) for multiple BBSs. 

I also have 3 different copies of the BW.EXE file: 
BW.EXE
BW1.EXE
BW2.EXE

Then I copied BWAVE386.CFG to: 
BW386-1.CFG
BW386-2.CFG

In BW1.EXE & BW2.EXE I used the Norton DiskEdit to change the 
corresponding CFG entry. 

I can open two different packets, and swap between them, without 
changing the configuration of the two different setups. 

Or experiment with one, without messing up the main reader. 

It takes up less hard drive space then having 3 different directories. 
I did that way back before the age of Win2000. 


Thanks for the heads up on the: 

Preferences
 Default Preferences
 Packet Preference Override
 Msg Area Preference Override
  Message Entry Preferences
   Automatically save new messages    No

For the SIG file.
