I made a posting last week, about troubles finding the image and changes file, right after doing a 'save as' on a Unix platform.

There is actually a small fix for this, which applies to all platforms.

Description ----------- Revise the SystemDictionary>>saveAs method, to pass the complete file pathname to the method SystemDictionary>>imageName:

The change causes the method FileDirectory>>default to maintain its correct value following a 'saveAs'.

I have tried this on a Mac, W95 and Unix image, but the usual cautions apply.

PS Andreas provided a good clue; as usual, spelunking in the browser was very easy.
