Well I'd rather have an 'overactive' IDE that offers
to save every time I close a stack, then lose my work
because it didn't keep track well enough.
As Klaus noted, changing from browse mode to edit mode
is enough to trigger the IDE into 'edited' mode.

The global 'gREVStackStatus' is an array, that's why
it looks empty in the variable watcher. However, you
can check its content using :
--
  global gREVStackStatus
  answer gREVStackStatus["MyStackName"]
--
and then you can change it :
--
  global gREVStackStatus
  put empty into gREVStackStatus["MyStackName"]
--

Hope this helped,
