I guess I don't understand how SAVE AS is a monumental technical challenge compared to SAVE since the only difference is who names the file. That totally baffles me. Since SAVE is already done, then I would think SAVE AS could be done in moments.

And if I could name the file you could eliminate all the code for Back-up and Quickstart. I could just save my own back-up and save my own Quickstart and load them whenever I want like any other file.

So are you saying this is really about the technical difficulty and not a decision to retain control of the file from the user?
Yes, I am saying that the process of backing up an entire league that can hold literal gigabytes of data multiple times so you can "load them whenever you want" is a technical limitation, not a "decision to retain control of the file from the user".
