Requested change to "SAVE" procedure [message #82870]

I've been wanting this for a while:

Sometimes I type save and (for a variety of reasons)overwrite an old idslave file that I didn't want to overwrite. What I'd like to see is the default behavior include a query to the user if a) no filename is provided (i.e. the idlsave.dat file is going to be used) and b) the command is issued from the command line. This should prevent accidental over-writes but not impact program behavior.

What would be the negative implications of such a change? Are others interested in this modification?

Exelisvis: Is this possible?
