Your response was helpful. When you click on the FILES tab you see the non-Apple apps listed. Clicking on one then shows the documents for that app. What I didn't realize was you simply drag a file from the computer into the iPhone window to add that file onto the iPhone. So used to the old iTunes method I never thought of something this simple.
It might be possible to save email attachments, although often each app has its own place to save them.
