Thanks to those of you who replied so quickly.  I believe I need to rephrase
the question.
 
Let's say I have 100 points in a database.  If I manually (visually) select
or spatially select some of those points (not using an SQL select), and then
add that "Selection" into my mapper as a new Layer, it goes away, even if I
save my workspace.  Apparently, the only way to save this type of thing in
the workspace is to have it "become" an SQL select.
 
Because I do not want superfluous data floating around my disk, I cannot do
a Save to New Table because that creates duplicate data that I do not want.
 
So what I'm asking is, does anyone else ever need to do this (a non-SQL
select either visually or spatially) and want to keep it "virtually" in the
workspace without creating "new" duplicate data?  If so, how do you deal
with it?
