Sara, Thank you for your answer and offer. For saving backups I found a free plugin called Backups Picker from So Smart Software that periodically backs up the stacks you're working on without switching files like Save As does. And now that I know about filename of stack function I hopefully won't make the mistake I started to make earlier of editing the right stack in the wrong file.
I wonder though how many people have made this mistake and when they reloaded the *right* stack assumed their work must have just disappeared. I've worked with some IDE's that have an Also Save As right after Save As that allows you to make a copy without switching files. Nice option.

Thanks! > Hi Jim, the filename of stack "mystack" will give you the info you need. Also of use is "delete stack whatever" which despite it's scary name, actually only deletes the copy from memory, so you can reload the working version. I have written scripts to do just what you are doing, so if you need more help, just let me know and I'll dig them out.
