The Save As dialog does so in 4.8.  Has that been fully ported to  
Frameworks?  I also wonder why it would warn about losing access if it  
is not saving encrypted.  Did that possibly get changed in the port to  
Frameworks?

Alan - you have not explicitly said whether your file is actually being  
saved encrypted or not, but I assume not?
