Not sure about that one; after all, unlike Hypercard (which had no SAVE 
menu item because every action
was saved as one went along), one can choose when to save stacks.

Might it not be better (???) to have either of these options instead:

1. AutoSave; set in the Preferences, could have times like Office suites.

2. SAVE AS with TIME MARKER.
