What happened to the commands 'edit' and 'save as'?

They are still there, as far as I know.
Without them you can use the file explorer. Right click on the Start button, and click explore.

You don't say from what program you are trying to save to a floppy disk, so you need to start with that. If it's Word, when you click on File, Save As, at the top there will be a box showing where you currently are (My Documents, or something like that.) You should use one of the little arrows to the right until you see 3-1/2 Floppy A. Select that and be sure to have a clean floppy disk in the drive. Give the document a name and click OK. This saves the file to the floppy, not your hard drive.
To get the file back, you click on File, Open, and be sure you are looking at the floppy drive, A. The file you saved should be there. If you want it back on your hard drive, you must save it again, but this time on your C drive, and in My Documents or some other document storage area.
Be sure to take your floppy disk out of the drive before you turn off the computer. It is scary to turn on the computer and have this big ERROR pop up in your face because there is a disk in Drive A. If that happens, take the disk out, hit Enter or OK and it will clear.

Open the file you want to copy to floppy disk.
Insert the floppy disk in the floppy disk drive make sure it is formatted.
Click on file, save as, and select the floppy drive then name the file and click on save

Where are you copying from? In most programmes there is a 'file' button under which there is a 'save as' button and then you need to select '31/2 in A floppy' usually.

right-click on the start button, select explore. scroll down to the the floppy disk and click on it. you can then paste/copy the files to or from the disk.
you can also do it from a DOS window. Locate the file you want to copy and type copy XXXX a:\XXXX where XXXX is the file name
