"Save As" has *ALWAYS* left you editing the newly created filename file 
in every app with the function. That's what it's designed to do and is 
sensible.

Some apps did / do have a separate "Save a Copy As" function, which I 
think works the way he is remembering (leaving you editing the original 
filename file), but I've never needed to bother using it to know for 
sure.

The new "Duplicate" function sort of works this way too. It leaves both 
files open with you editing the new copy (which hasn't been saved yet, 
so has no filename).

For apps that have the silly new "Duplicate" function und er the File 
menu, you can usually hold down the Option key and it changes back to 
being "Save As" instead.
