I don't know anything about 'open' in the macro. I simply put <<saveAs>>
into my SidebarOptions tiddler.

The problem began occurring after I moved from Windows to OSX. Again,
when I made that move I simply copied my TiddlyWiki folder over to the
OSX directory.

The problem initially appeared with TWs that I'd been using on Windows
and just copied over to OSX. Immediatelly prior to this post I
downloaded and saved an empty TW from TiddlyWiki.com. After installing
SaveAs the problem is still present.

This is getting a bit beyond me, but is there a way to determine whether
this is happening?

Here are the steps:
* Put <<saveAs>> in SidebarOptions.
* Click 'save changes' and reload.
* Click 'save as'.
* Finder opens to TiddlyWiki folder. [All file names are greyed-out.
Makes me think it's a permission problem.]
* Navigate to my backup folder [twbackup]. [Again, all file names
greyed-out.]
* Select backup file to write to.
* Click 'Save'.
* FF notifies that file exists.
* Click 'Replace'.
* Weird string displayed in the TW I'm trying to backup where save
result is normally reported.
* Click on the string.
* New FF window opens with 'Page Load Error' tab.
That's it.
Thanks for trying to help with this, Eric.
