The NEW command does not reset the file name from the last LOAD / SAVE.
LOAD "SAVEME.BAS"
NEW
10 PRINT "BYE BYE"
SAVE
POOF goes the program “SAVEME.BAS” has now been replaced by “BYE BYE”. Also if you do EDIT before SAVE then “SAVEME.BAS” is shown and upon exiting the editor whatever code had been entered prior to EDIT is lost. “SAVEME.BAS” is re-loaded. This makes the life of a new propgram precarious and there is no way to prevent the loss once you used EDIT.
Sorry Charlie!!!

The `NEW` command does not reset the file name from the last `LOAD` / `SAVE`.
```
