Connections - Ability to define database to connect to by default

I would like to see a Connections configuration option that allows us to define a default database to connect to on a conneciton.
There isn't one today and defaults to the sysbas asp. Which for those of us with iASP infrastructures, is a pain for RSS.


Use Case:

Using RSS today, we start the RSS window, and it defaults to the SYSBAS asp. Which would be fine for any system with only 1 ASP. We have 147 laprs, Of which 95 of them have iASP's. So every time we want to open RSS and run a script, we have to connect to the system, initially when it opens, then reconnect again after choosing the iASP.
It would be easier/quicker to just configure the connection to automatically open with that iASP connected.
Should be a pretty easy, straightforward addition.

    In our next update coming out at the end of April, the connection will be established to the DB and iASP set when RSS last exited.
