Save with no dialog after Save As...

[Barrie Jones <barrie at spamcop dot net>]

I am trying to save a file without displaying the dialog box when the 
user selects Save from the file menu.
I tried to find the answer in the tutorial but it was difficult to 
relate to my app.
I have set the textHasChanged flag and need to bypass 
f=GetSaveFolderItem("myFileType",gFileName) in the SaveAs method.
The SaveAs method starts as follows:

  Dim bs As BinaryStream
  Dim f as FolderItem
  f=GetSaveFolderItem("myFileType",gFileName)
  If f = Nil then
    // "Cancelled"
  else
    bs = f.CreateBinaryFile("myFileType")
    if bs = nil then
      MsgBox "Unable to create file"
    else
      // save data here

If I bypass this line:  f=GetSaveFolderItem("myFileType",gFileName)
how do I get the folderItem f without displaying a dialog?
Should I use a global folderItem in the SaveAs?

Thanks
Barrie
