I'm currently working on a stack that creates a billing statement compiled from selections the user has made from a selection of inventory cards. When creating a new bill, I want to initialize all of the variables and clear all fields in the current stack AND create a new "cleared" stack for the next billing entry. I have all of the initialization scripts working, but since Hypercard saves all changes before quitting and the "Save A Copy..." feature requires the user to save the stack as "Copy of stackname" rather than "stackname", I can't get around forcing the user to save the previous stack as "Copy of stackname" and then renaming the stack at the Finder level. Ideally, I would like to mimic Microsoft Word's use of "Untitled" when it creates a new document and have Hypercard save all the changes to the previous stack as "stackname"; the new stack "Untitled" would be named by the user later. Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. Naomi Takeuchi --------------
