Radically revamp how files are opened/saved #20

It's not ideal, since the first time you open the doc, you still have to specify the path (cf, if I could open directly from the path I want to save to would be better), but at least it works around the repeated ctrl-s dialog appearing issue.

This is quite a lot more radical now:

removes Browser window
if you open without a filepath, it opens a blank map
- ctrl-s will then prompt you for a filepath, nad save to this
- subsequent ctrl-s will save to this
if you open with a filepath:
- this map opens
- subsequent ctrl-s saves to this filepath

There's no 'do yo uwant to save?' whne you exit. That's not standard, and not good, but I've done enough hacking around for now, and should actually get on with using it :-D

I'll close this, since I know it's not really the direction you yourself want to go in :-)

(Added 'do you want to save yes/no' at end, if you modified something)
