Valuable tip re. v7's Save As

[Richard Gaskin]

I recently learned that the Save As option in v7 is even smarter than 
I'd thought:

Most of us already know it allows us save our stack files in any format 
we like, using the current v7 format by default or any legacy version 
going back more than a decade.

But Mark Waddingham recently mentioned a detail about it that I didn't 
now before: the IDE's Save As goes further, setting a 
cREVGeneral["stackFileVersion"] custom property in your stack, so that 
all subsequent saves by the IDE in v7 will save in whatever format you 
last specified in the Save As dialog.

In short, when migrating work to v7 in which you need to maintain 
compatibility with older engines, you only need to select the older 
format in Save As once, and from then on any save done by the IDE will 
use the format you'd specified.

Super-convenient.  Almost no reason not to be at least testing in v7. :)
