This can not be done (as far as I am aware). Normally Vedit saves in the directory the file was opened from. (Read the on line help for a detailed discussion of this). I often want to save files in specific directories, so I have a number of entries in my Tools Menu such as:- Change Directory to D:\progs\Vedit\text Chdir("D:\progs\Vedit\text") File Save (not Save As) will then use this directory for new files. You need to manually type the extension.
