Most important question to answer, does your PC have a floppy disc drive?  If not, I fear it could be rather difficult to achieve this.

Excellent!  So many these days don't have a floppy drive  ;D

I'm not familiar with the Legacy program, so this could be hit and miss.   ;)

I would not have thought that the whole Legacy programm would fit onto 1 floppy disc, so presumably you are trying to save a back-up file or a Gedcom file?  What about the help file - any use?  You need to look for "save" in the index - or have you also tried that?  Sometimes the help files are as clear as mud!  But it should tell you how to do it.   :-\  If not, I fear we'll need someone like Falkryn to ride to the rescue.

Hi joe,

Just done some searching here on RootsChat and found a number of threads about Legacy.  Burrow Digger uses it so also may be able to help you.  Falkryn answered a query similar to yours here:

And maybe Berlin-Bob also knows the program.

Perhaps this thread may also help:
