[Openroad-users] File Popup method for saving files

[Bodo Bergmann]

Just set the "operation" parameter of the FilePopup() method to
FUP_SAVE.

>From the Language Reference Manual (ProcExec class, FilePopup method):

The optional operation parameter is either FOP_OPEN or FOP_SAVE.
This parameter determines whether the selection box has a Save button or
an Open button.
If you do not specify the operation parameter, the file selection box
will have an Open button.
