The initial default is set to ReportSave#, so a save without a
filename (eg from the menu) will be saved into your CSD (Current Set
Directory), wherever that is. If you save using the command and a
filename it will use that filename.

If you change the default (which is remembered), it will always go
there unless a filename is specified. A popular setting is
    RAM::RamDisc0.$.ReportList# 
as the files are usually of short-term use (hence in RAM) and the #
is replaced by a numeric suffix.
