I think this is a different issue relating to file paths. Richard was 
talking about the stack file version, which is the format of the file on 
disk.

When you "save as," LC opens the new copy which will have a different 
file path. The original copy is closed. It would be nice to add a 
feature request that puts a "Save a copy" into the File menu, which 
would save off a backup copy but keep the original in RAM.
