I have tried several times to post this but it has been coming back with
errors. If it has been posted before, please ignore this. Thanks.
David asked about "doing Save As"
I suggest:
....If the task name is untitled, use the Save As menu option.
Using the Development's exact description leads the user to believe they
would have to do both the Save As task and then the Save task. If that is
the case, their usability becomes an issue (which is another problem
altogether).
