[moneydance] default file when opening moneydance

[Roz Wild]

I believe moneydance automatically loads the last file you viewed, with no 
particular preference for where it is saved. If it can't find it (eg because 
you've renamed/moved/deleted it since the last time you ran moneydance), 
then you will be offered the chance to start a new file, import, or open an 
existing file of your choice. I can't see a way of doing what you want, 
which is unfortunate, since it makes perfect sense to test the beta version 
on less critical data. Especially if you've found, like I have, that the 
save option doesn't work.
