Thanks. I must admit, this is pretty counter-intuitive. Application Support is about as natural a place to look into as say, the operating system. There's no file "Save as..." and now that I notice, there's no "File -> New" option either.

I really don't like this choice on the developer's part. I like to keep all my files in one place to make backing up and auto-synching between machines easy. And what if, for some absurd reason I wanted to have multiple files? One for my work life and one for my personal life, for example. I know it can be done in one file, but it seems such a Microsoft-force-the-user-to-do-it-our-way sort of thing.

Time for another feature request!
