I've read MS documentation, I've searched the discussion threads, I cannot
invoke the SaveAs command from a web page.

I tried
<a href="javascript:window.execCommand(\"SaveAs\");"><click here</a>
<a href="javascript:document.execCommand(\"SaveAs\");"><click here</a>

I tried passing arguments (\"SaveAs\",1,\"myfile.htm\");

I cannot get it to work.

Perhaps try Microsoft?

You must visit these pages with IE or you will not see the extra
content MS provides using their own proprietary stuff (such as
the list of commands that can be invoked with the execCommand
method).

You are attempting VBA commands, not JavaScript. There is no
"SaveAs" command or anything similar that can be invoked with
execCommand, so you will not 'get it to work' until the
functionality exists in whatever browser you use.

This should work:
<a
href="javascript:void(document.execCommand('SaveAs',true))">save</a>
