I am in secondary shape modeling, and i rotate my joint up and start tweaking the mesh, when i am happy with how it looks i select the cluster and save shape key. when i did that it reduced my shape key bylike..maybe all of it? so it like wiped out my shape key, i have no clue why. so i tried doing this again, having no idea what could be wrong and it did it again, its like as soon as i save a shape key it destroys it. i mean i thought that i was in the right construction mode. this is driving me crazy. anyone have any idea what is going on?

You just need to move the timeline to a different frame before you save the new shape key.

So if i was working on a shoulder for example, i would have 4 key shapes for it.

UP
down
forward
back

so if i rotated my bicep joint up and made the keyshape for that, i would move a frame forward and then create the key shape right? then i would rotate the joint down and move my mesh, and go a frame forward again and set a key shape right? is that how i would go about doing that for multiple key shapes anyone know? i tried doing what sheep said, and that sometimes worked, i made them 4 key shapes above and only 2 actually worked, and i moved a frame ahead everytime. this xsi key shape stuff is really killing me over here.
