So "duplicate" makes a duplicate but doesn't delete the original, and "save as" creates a copy and doesn't delete the original; but "duplicate" and "save as" "do different things." Granny is confused.

First, with no sarcasm or insult, I commend you for admitting to an area of computing you are ignorant about. All too often in COLA people see that as a weakness and refuse to do so. You have little experience with such systems... and even if you did you still might not know.

But before we get to the differences, I want to make sure you realize that we are now talking about multiple features here:

* Renaming a file (which can be done open or not) * Moving a file (which can be done open or not) * Labeling a file (which can be done open or not) * Duplicating a file (which can be done open or not) * Saving a file (which can only be done if open) * Saving as a new file (which can only be done if open)

What is the difference between "duplicating" an open file and "save as"?

I might look into that at some point, but all post production stuff is probably more effort than I want to put into these things.

Fair enough... I have to keep in mind that you use a system where such things are not as easy. What you produce is fine and, given the limitations, the way you zoomed makes sense.

I believe compositing window managers have a facility for zooming, but I'm not using one of those.
