When I have a AW file, revise it, save it under a new name, close it out, then reopen, I'll be darned, but it saved it as the OLD file — without any changes.
Can someone direct me as to how to correct this bedeviling problem?

It sounds like you renamed the file in Finder while it was open in AppleWorks. This will "break" AppleWorks connection to the file & any changes you "save" won't be saved to the open document because AppleWorks can't find it. If you want to change the name of a file, either use File > Save As… to give it a new name or close the file, rename it in Finder & then reopen it. The same thing happens if you move the file while it is open.
