[G4] Save and Save As not really working

[rich northouse]

Dick,

Perhaps you are looking at the creation date, and not the update date? 
That would explain why you saw the new date on the new folder file, but 
not in the original.  Did you examine the file -- i.e. were the changes 
that you made stored on the file, even though the date wasn't updated?
