Dear David,
after checking your suggestions I found out that the menu bar "save as"
dialog does _save_ the file. It did not work in my case as my file name
included asterisks "*", however, did not show any error message.
Therefore, the only thing that should be changed is the description of
the button from "Open" to "Save" in the menu-driven "Save as..." dialog
window.
Best regards,
Will
PS: Do you know whether sort of a package management system is under
development for Emacs (e.g. based on EmacsWiki).
That would be marvellous!!!
