tip: save stack and compact

I noticed today that some stacks I was automatically creating and 
saving were unexpected ballooning in size from a few hundred k to 
several megabytes.  I was setting large customproperty values in these 
stacks.  The issue is that "save stack x" does not compact the stack, 
as selecting "save" from file menu does.  Therefore remember to call 
"compact stack x" first...otherwise free space in stack will not be 
recovered.
