There are several ways you could do this. One is to always save with a 
macro which would do the following:

1 - prompt for a filename if one does not exist ({system}name~ will tell 
you the name, check for a null)
2 - save the file to the default directory
3 - save the default directory in a variable ({system}path~ will give you 
the path of the file
4 - shell to dos
5 - copy the file to the "master" directory

Using the system variable will allow one network macro to function from any 
client on the net. The macro could also save the file twice but as you have 
probably already discovered the last used path becomes part of the filename 
and could cause confusion if the file is saved several times. By using the 
DOS COPY command you avoid setting any internal WordPerfect variables to 
point to the master directory. You may not need to use the {system}path~ 
variable if you run WordPerfect from the requested directory but it will be 
necessary if you use the WordPerfect setup to specify the location of text 
files as other than the actual DOS default directory. I would use it in 
either case just to be safe.
