Sure - probably the easiest way is to use a text editor.

What I typically do is to use the COMPUTER ID feature and then
filter the log so I get only the QSOs made on a specific computer
(and edited). Then, I merge them.

The QSO points are calculated when you log the QSO. The editor is "dumb"
on purpose so you can edit anything you want without changing other
things.
You can rescore the contest using the TR READ feature to rework the
contest. Check the manual.

I am not sure how to answer this. When the merge function in POST
finds two QSOs that are the same - it only uses one of them.

I think the COMPUTER ID feature is the key.
