if you are talking about saving as default region it should work from  
PERMANENT mapset only
as in GRASS  you can change the files only in your current mapset
and the default region is stored in PERMANENT.
This would add an important missing piece - it was a real pain not to  
have it
when I started to work with the spearfish replacement data set and I  
tried
to work as a normal user (not editing the DEFAULT_WIND files) as my  
default
regions we set to 1,1,1 for locations where I used the EPSG code.

thanks for looking into it,

Helena
