The "Save" icon and save in the menu are only available if the Document has
a name, that is when it's a reopend old Document. To save a Document the
first time use "Save as..." from the File Menu. This is the way most Mac
Programs handle it. Maybe it should be changed.

The alignemt is only changed per paragraph, Returns seperate Paragraphs,
maybe you have a return after every line.

This issue is not found on my System at home, but I think thats introduced
by newer Version of XFree, currently I'm working on a solution.
