Yes.

To make a new mapset, just mkdir the dirname in the location and copy
over the WIND file from the current mapset.

Then change mapsets with g.mapset  (without an "s" at the end).


eval `g.gisenv`
cd "$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME"
mkdir $newmapset
cp "$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/WIND" $newmapset/
g.mapset $newmapset
