You wouldn't happen to have noticed the "Save As" option in the
"File" menu, perhaps?

You would have, of course, missed this text in the scratch buffer
on startup as well?
;; This buffer is for notes you don't want to save, and for Lisp
;; evaluation. If you want to create a file, first visit that

;; buffer.
In particular, the first sentence is quite telling...

This works fine for me. Of course, I don't have a modem to test
