Chained Audio Presets Anomaly -- Vegas 6.0d

I'm trying to use Non- RT effects in a chain. Suppose I chain Vibrato and Volume, and want to use this combo in several events. When I create the chain, and save the present, it turns out only one of the two, the active (depressed) one, is saved. I can save either individually, but not together. Why?

If I do something similar in the track audio effects, it works fine. Three chained effects gets saved in a preset as three chained effects.

In neither case, do these newly defined plug-in-ish presets appear in the list of Plug-ins. I guess they end up in Project Media.

Solved. Basically, create the filter chain in the Chooser Plug-ins, and save that with the Save As button. This saves this "chain" as a new Plug-in under FX Packages. Now go to, via OK, the presets. Play with them, use the disk icon to save them, to create presets with various parameters. (The disk icon is a different mechanism than chooser!). Depart by OK to see Save As (Take). The Save as vs disk combo on different dialogs is odd in itself. This is not what I'd call an intuitively obvious interface.

Pretty obvious in the Help and Manual though. As is Normalise.
