How to remember channel aliases ?

Running smart --gui on SuSE 10.0.  A new version of wine showed
up in the SuSE-supplied depositories.  I had already upgraded
wine from the wine depository, so I wanted to EXCLUDE the
SuSE-supplied wine from the smart 'Upgrade All Packages".

Went to Edit -> Priorities -> New.  It asked me to type in
the Channel Alias.  Well, I didn't remember what the channel
alias name was (especially since the install of smart on SuSE
*insists* on supplying these channel file contents, rather than
letting me fill them in the way I like) !!!

Let me suggest that Edit -> Priorities -> New  provide a drop-
down list of the recognized channels, so that the user may
select from the list, rather than having to type it in himself.
