If you use 

>  mdm.Dialogs.BrowseFileToSave.show();

you get a window, in which you can input a file name and click 'save'.
It creates the file, copies Xerte.swf, etc. I think this is how it
should work on Mac (and perhaps will also work on Windows?). I think
mdm.Dialog.BrowseFile on Mac is only for browsing and selecting files,
not for creating new ones.
