The other thing you can do is go back into text edit.
Then open file menu, recent documents.
Open your file from there and then use command shift S to open the save as 
dialog and see what path it's using.

That's not an elegant solution in this case, but it might be for next time when 
you have another file already open and you don't have to fish it out of the 
recents.

Have fun,
