It sounds to me like you have discovered a 'feature'.  The file
will go onto whichever diskette has the MacTerminal document on it.
This can be used to your advantage.  For example, put the system and
the MacTerminal application into a RAM disk, then put the MacTerminal
document on an empty disk.  You can now transfer almost a disk full.

Another aspect of this feature (at least using Mac to talk to a UTS)
is that you can close the document without logging off, move it to
another disk, open it again, and continue where you left off in the
same session!  I have used this to download several disks worth of
net.stuff at one sitting.
