Goal: Save the calendar in common location on a shared file system
where it can be accessed from different machines I may be using.

Method: Not clear. The file method has "new" and "open" operations, 
but no "Save As". I tried "export", but when I then opened the
version I exported, I got two sets of events. There is a "publish"
operation, that creates an ics file too. But it's not clear what
the difference is between that and "export". In any case, I would
like to share a calendar file without having to publish it first.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
The program doesn't seem to be set up with this desirable functionality in mind. (Although it is *sterling* in every other respect, so I hope this will become an RFE. Or perhaps I'm missing something, which would be even better.)

Expected Results:  
I'd like the calendar program to treat the .ics file the same way an editor treats a text file:
  a) Use Save As to store in some fixed location
  b) Open with multiple editors, if desired
  c) When needed, pop a dialog that asks 
     "the file has changed, do you want to reload?"
