Hi Linda, I've answered all three of your questions below. Hopefully this clears up any confusion you may have.
First question: When you wish to save to sub folders, I first suggest that you put your dialog either into List mode (cmd-2) or Column mode (cmd-3). Do this while the Save dialog is active then follow these steps: In List mode: 1. cmd-shift-s to bring up the Save dialog. 2. Enter a name for the file. 3. Press cmd-shift-h to bring focus to your Home folder. 4. Interact with the File Table. 5. Navigate down to the Documents folder or whatever folder you desire. 6. Press return. 7. Navigate to your desired folder and/or repeat step 6 if going even deeper. 8. Press return again and it will be saved in your desired location. In Column mode: 1. cmd-shift-s to bring up the Save dialog. 2. Enter a name for the file. 3. Press cmd-shift-h to bring focus to your Home folder, for example. 4. Interact with the File Browser. 5. Navigate down to the Documents folder or whatever folder you desire. 6. Navigate right then down again to your desired folder. 7. Repeat step 6 if going even deeper. 8. Press return again and it will be saved in your desired location. If the desired location is not within your Home folder you can use other keyboard shortcuts to quickly get closer. eg. cmd-shift-d for your Desktop. cmd-shift-i for your iDisk. cmd-shift c for listing all devices possible currently attached to your computer. Second question: I don't believe that it is possible to save one file to two different locations simultaneously unless you are set up on a network where Home syncing is configured. You'll just have to press save more than once to do what you're asking. Third question: the easiest way to put a message into the Drafts folder of Mail is simply to close your message window. Mail will either ask if you want it saved as a Draft or just do it automatically depending on whether it was previously a draft. Later...
