[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Creating a new stack with empty fields

naomi@jessica.Stanford.EDU (Naomi Takeuchi) (01/10/90)

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.
