The auto-save feature appears to have been a "neat hack" with little
thought given to its actual use.  Now auto-save in itself is an excellent
feature, but it should NEVER alter the original file without the explicit
consent of the user.  I would be very interested in hearing how this was
justified.

One thing is for sure: auto-save will be "fixed" in some manner.  Otherwise
Hypercard will never be able to open the much-hyped CD-ROM stacks!
