&gt;&gt; Appreciate &quot;Save as&quot; is still available in Lion, but I would like it better if it supplied the current name by default. Can I make TM2 do this?<br>

&gt; I can add that — didn’t know it was standard.<br>

Lion has done away with &quot;Save as&quot; unfortunately for many of us. (If you&#39;ve every watched a non-geek deal with &quot;Save as&quot; you can understand why it went away.)<br>

Thanks for considering adding it.<br>

<div><br></div><div>So there&#39;s no way in TextEdit to save a replacement for the current file.  Lion Apps are supposed to autosave, and  if you need to un-save you can use the files version history (which apparently requires that you have access to a time machine backup, at least when I just tried it if fails since my time-machine backup is only available when I&#39;m at home).</div>
