I agree.  No need to convince us further!

Implement the button and I'll see what I can do with the back-end
code for it.  I don't think it'd be hard to do.  It might be easiest
to write the selected_maps.sys file out and then read that data in
again for the Properties dialog.  We've already got the code to read
that file in order to highlight the "selected" lines in the Map
Chooser.  Just borrow the code for another purpose.
