David,
somewhere(?) in your definition, I think it bears pointing out that the
PURPOSE of a "Save As" function is to save the task in operation (or
output of that task) WITHOUT CHANGING THE ORIGINAL. This 'renaming'
action is (one of) the main purposes of the SAVE AS function, at least
in every app I've ever used.
