I have noticed a new annoying difference in SaveAs in Version 6 and Version 7. In Version 6, if one opened a notebook from a specific folder and then used SaveAs (to save it under a new name where it would be later modified) the system would always assume that the new notebook would be in the same folder as the original notebook. And this would indeed be what is usually wanted. But in Version 7 the system assumes that the notebook would be in the last (I think, but at least often some other) folder that was used. This change in behavior certainly confused me because at first I didn't look carefully at which folder the system was using and then I couldn't at first find the notebooks! So, if you run into the case where your notebooks are misplaced from what you were expecting, be sure to check and maneuver to the correct folder when using SaveAs. But I would prefer the old convention. David Park djmpark at comcast.net <http://home.comcast.net/~djmpark> http://home.comcast.net/~djmpark
