Of course BC Manager's BCL editor does work in the way you describe.
However, there is another, probably simpler way, which doesn't involve
the BCL editor at all:

In the "Presets" window, select (highlight) the preset(s) you want to
save, and choose "Export selected preset(s)" from the "File" pulldown
menu. In the dialog box you can then select the output file type (syx,
txt or bc2) via the "Save as type" box.

The saved file will contain all the presets' respective "$store"
commands. However, if preset 0 (the temporary preset) is among the
selected presets, preset 0 will be saved LAST, and will NOT be
followed by a $store command. This protocol is similar to what happens
when you send a bunch of presets to a BCF or BCR: the BCF and BCR use
the temporary preset as a gateway to any memory presets. So formally
ANY preset definition concerns the TEMPORARY preset, and is only
COPIED to a memory preset the moment a $store command is encountered.

Mark.
