I finally figured out that I was not actually "Saving" the files, I was just opening them in Safari. And I could never find the "Save to File" button stated in all the instructions. Turns out that the "Save to File" button is in the lower part of the menu AND YOU MUST SCROLL DOWN TO SEE IT. Then the online instructions make sense.

That there are additional buttons available or that the menu has stuff to scroll to is not indicated. Maybe I am missing the cue because my font is set to a larger size.
