Only 12 on mine - I'm feeling underpriviledged.

So I've been importing a bunch of sprites for a skin conversion and I've ran into a small problem.
As I editted the sprites in DOOM2.WAD, I want to save my changes as a new .WAD file. However, the nearest to a "Save As" function I can see in the Menu is the Merge function, which according to the Help file, merges any new data from another WAD.. unless I've interpreted this wrong, shouldn't that overwrite any changes I've made to the WAD? Is there an actual way I can save my changes to another WAD?
Chances are this is a very simple query and I've missed something very obvious, but I've checked the help files and I can't really find anything about it.
The "Merge" function will add the contents of a wad to the one you're editing. It doesn't overwrite, so what you'll more likely wind up with is a lot of duplicate entries. Turning those sprites into a wad will have to be done the hard way.- Use "Save As" to save copies of your sprites (as BMP's) to a temporary folder on your hard drive
- Create a new wad (from the "File" menu) in the same folder
- Create a pair of sprite markers (using "New" from the "Entry" menu) called "SS_START" and "SS_END"
- Highlight "SS_START" and load your sprite bitmaps into the wad
