Yes, I know that.  However it only saves the settings for one report
and when you retrieve it you get exactly the report you saved.  What I
want is to be able to save the more general report settings so that
whenever I open a new report I get those settings.

There's already a few things that can be configured 'system wide' in
Edit->Preferences->Reports, for example you can set the default
currency for *every* report there.  I'd like to be able to set more
things like this so that they apply to every report. Then I won't have
to set/unset the same half-dozen or so things I have to change every
time I create a new report.  The problem is that I sometimes forget
some of them! :-)
