Thanks, I added the reference to 'desktop-read' to the doc string of 'descktop-save'. > Other problem, and this is likely just unfamiliarity, but if you do > desktop-save it asks you where to save it.

The doc string of 'desktop-read' says: Interactively, with prefix arg C-u, ask for DIRNAME. So it _is_ exposed in interactive calls.
