You're correct, I had been trying the 'four finger display all windows using the mouse touchpad thingy' and never saw the "select filename for saved coordinates" window (must've still been behind the main coot window?). Thanks and sorry for the bonehead question.

I go File->Save Coordinates... and it tells me to select a molecule number to save (there is only one molecule open, I have added waters but I add them to my molecule) and my molecule is numbered zero. When I click the select filename button, the 'Save Coordinates File Selector' window closes and the terminal gives this read out:

On mine, a window pops up directly behind the main coot window (an Apple X11 bug), so I have to move the coot window to the right to see it.
That window is called "Select filename for saved coordinates". Do you get that window?
I get two more lines in the console output, eg: saving an RNA molecule I generated:
INFO:: backup file /tmp/Ideal-A-form-RNA_Sat_Feb_20_21:11:43_2010_modification_0.pdb.gz
(ideal-nucleic-acid "RNA" "A" 0 "UGACCGUAC")
(first-coords-imol)
(first-unsaved-coords-imol)
INFO:: Setting fileselection with file: Ideal-A-form-RNA-coot-0.pdb
save coordinates for molecule 0 to file /Users/wgscott/Desktop/Ideal-A-form-RNA-coot-0.pdb
(save-coordinates 0 "/Users/wgscott/Desktop/Ideal-A-form-RNA-coot-0.pdb")
