Hi Joe,


Aside from Ken's worthy comment, another way to go, depending on how 
you use your stacks --

Sometimes it makes a sense to add to a script the line/s --

save stack "whatever"

--with or without--

close stack "whatever"


If it's a suitable script, you probably won't lose data simply 
because you forgot to save, or failed to save before a spontaneous 
quit due to an application migraine. A script like this saves when 
you need to, like only when you make a data change in a stack, 
without saving too often or too seldom, like with an auto-save stack.

HTH
