I tried the MacApp DrawShapes sample that comes with MacApp.  I created a 
document, colored it blue and moved it to the desktop.  Then I opened it, 
made a change, and saved it.  The file stayed where it was and remained 
blue.  This was under MultiFinder.

There might be some subtle point that I just don't recall off hand (it's 
been a while since I wrote the saving code).  MacApp has used basically 
the same saving code since its first release.
