Thanks all,

I don't know (may be others will) how to get the information from the
desktop manager but when an user saves, you could check first if the
file does exists and act accordingly.

Although changing the file name of an open file seems like a bad
idea, I'm sure one of my users will do it and then get confused when
their newly named file doesn't contain the most recent changes. I
noticed that Appleworks 6 (OSX) doesn't have a problem with the file
name being changed.
It's a design flaw that goes back to HyperCard. HC and Rev alike use
hardcoded file paths, rather than filesystem specs. (It's worth noting
that some OS X applications do this too and exhibit similar problems.)
In the case of Rev, there's some excuse for it, since a file path is a
simple string (and thus can be dealt with easily in Transcript). But
it does have the effect that if you change a file's path while it's
open, either by renaming it or moving it, things break. I'm not sure
there's a good workaround.
