Interesting.
To use the javax.swing.FileChooser, try:
   java -Dptolemy.ptII.useFileDialog=false -classpath $PTII 
ptolemy.vergil.VergilApplication
Under Mac OS X, in the old dialog, Command-A and Command-V allow me to 
update the
file name in the SaveAs entry widget

To use the java.awt.FileDialog, try
   java -Dptolemy.ptII.useFileDialog=false -classpath $PTII 
ptolemy.vergil.VergilApplication
Under Mac OS X, in FileDialog, Command-A and Command-V do not work

java.awt.FileDialog is preferred on the Mac.

However, Under Mac OS X 10.7.5, the Preview app does allow Command-V to 
work in the entry widget?

Therefore, Java should also support this.

I submitted a bug to Apple about this.
