It's an enhancement request. We do allow those.
The idea seems sound enough: Just have the mirror selection widget offer
to store the selection - er- somewhere for later use. Point being of
course that people can never remeber what to write in which
configuration file in which directory.
One tricky issue is whether we want the GUI to edit the Rprofile
(probably not) or add yet another configuration file that would be
overridden (probably not) by or override (probably not either) the
hand-written Rprofile files....
