Unacceptable File Size Increase

Transcript's save command does not invoke the compact command, but IDEs 
may as you suggest.  I know the MetaCard IDE does, as does my own, but I 
don't use Rev's IDE so I couldn't tell you there.

While the original description of the problem was hard to read without 
line breaks before coffee, another possibility that comes to mind is 
that the copying and pasting of cards between stacks is causing them to 
create new backgrounds with each pasted card.

This alone may no account for the full size, but I don't recall a 
description of how many cards there were or the size of the data on them 
so we have nothing to compare the amount cited as "undesirable" with 
what might be considered at least reasonable.
