Q: 

Opening "save as..." dialog from :ex command

When I "save as..." a file from the menu, I get the usual windows "save as..." dialog, but when I save using the :sav command, I can only use vim file name completion. Is there a way to open the "save as..." dialog using an ex command?

Thanks.

+2  A:  
:browse saveas

or, for short 

:bro sav
