First, start IDLE from a command line terminal with
python -m idlelib.idle
Open a new editor window and try to save it with a new filename.
Look in your file finder application and see if there is a new blank 
file with the name you gave.
If not, you must fix the problem; it is not IDLE.  Check your 
command-line terminal for an error message.
If a file was saved, but the title of the IDLE editor did not change, 
you have a buggy version of IDLE.  Upgrade at least to 2.7.18, if not to 
3.10 or 3.11.
