This was a MAJOR design flaw from the time they first did it, i'm sure
it's bitten all of us at one time or another.   what are the chances they'll
change it now, now that so many people have gotten used to doing it
that way?  i don't know...

if you really need selection sets (remember, with dreport you can
use -v prc_table instead), the ones you don't want overwritten with - go 
to os-level and muck with permissions to make them read-only.
