When you close Moneydance, it saves the file to whatever location it was  
opened from.  So once you've done the "Save As", it will continue to save  
it to that location.  Similarly, when you open Moneydance, it opens the  
most recently used file, so it will open the location you saved it as. You  
can verify which file it has open by looking at the title bar of the  
Moneydance window.  (I don't know if the titlebar part is specific to the  
window manager or if it works everywhere, but it works that way on mine.)
