My first instinct is to tell the programmers they're all wet, as most
system standards would dictate that saving an unnamed task automatically
accesses the save-as routine. Good documentation is no remedy for sloppy
programming.
That said...
Saves the task. If the task is currently untitled, you must first
select Save As and name the task.
