Syntax:

put NewFileName( <prompt>, 
<initial filename> ) into SaveFileName

<prompt>, should be a simple descriptive statement about the request, such as,  "Save document as?," or  "Save test result to:."

<initial filename>.  The first time NewFileName is called this should be  empty (“”) as the user is saving an untitled document.  Thereafter, it should contain the name of the document as previously given by the user.
