It sounds like a bug in the Windows version of 
Panorama. The work around would be to use 
FileTrash to delete the file, prior to the 
SaveAsText.

SaveFileDialog folder,file,"Save This Page as:"
if file = "" stop endif

if chr(13)+ listfiles(folder,"")+chr(13) contains chr(13)+file+chr(13)
     FileTrash folder,file
endif

SaveAsText  folderpath(folder) + file

You will still get the question asking if you 
want to replace, because that happens during the 
SaveFileDialog. The error statement asking you to 
please choose another name happens during the 
SaveAsText.
