Ann, Much of the way the BSP works is like Windows. The "save as" command is certainly like that.
After completing a file, it must be named in order to save it. This is where the "save as" command comes in. I guess you already know how to bring that command up so I'll skip that. When you have the command on your display, give it a name, including its extension. If you wish the file to be stored in the default folder (My Documents), just press "enter. The file will be saved. Note that you do not use "tab." If you wish to use another folder other than the default, press the "shift-tab" that's space plus dots 2-3. This puts you in a list of folders which you can move you with the space plus dot 4 or dot 2. When you have selected the desired folder, press "enter." Now tab a couple of times. The first tab shows your filename plus extension. The next tab shows the file type. The next tab says "confirm." Press "enter" here and the file will be saved.
