How strange. You were having a problem with an application so you wanted 
to make a copy of the data file. So you decided to do that by opening 
the application anyway to have it open the file (so you could use its 
"save as" to make the copy)

Why did you not simply COPY the file at your "windows manager" level

<< because Windows, Apple, etc. come with only one "windows manager" 
tend to think of THAT as the OS ----- unix/linux users having a choice 
of windows managers more likely to realize they are interacting with 
THAT and not the OS itself -- not many of us work at the command line 
level (and even THAT is a "shell" >>
