If you haven't already saved them with the "Save" button in the dialog 
boxes for the "Capture Filters..." and "Display Filters..." items under 
the "Edit" menu, or the "Save" button in the "Capture Filter" and 
"Display Filter" dialog boxes popped up by the "Filter:" buttons, you 
can:

	select "Capture Filters..." from the "Edit" menu;

	type in a name for the filter in the "Filter name:" box, and the 
filter string in the "Filter string:" box;

	click "New";

	keep doing that until you've already entered all of your capture 
filters;

	click "Save", and then click "OK";

	do the same for display filters.

This will save, in files named "cfilters" and "dfilters" in:

	the ".ethereal" directory in your home directory on UNIX;

	the "Application Data\Ethereal" directory in your "profile directory" 
on Windows;

the capture and display filters, respectively.
