[GNC] Can one save report option defaults?

I use this method for a monthly P&L for a running 'at a glance' when I 
want it. Since the report is set to reference dates (start/end of this 
month) rather than specific dates, I don't have to change any options. 
It just rolls over to the new month when the date changes.

Regards,
Adrien
