I don't know whether this subject has been discussed here before, since
I am a new reader of this group. Sorry if it has been.  I am just
beginning to write stacks.  One of most annoying feature in Hypercard
is autosave.  AutoSave is often nice when I am in the typing mode,
but not when I am in scripting mode.  Sometimes when I accidentally
make changes to the graphics, scripts, or even button field layouts, I
can't revert to the saved one.  Especially graphics, having it autosave
when quitting the painting mode makes me feel really uncomfortable.

I think that it would be really wonderful if we are given autosave as
an option.  Or, alternatively, when the user level is 2, turn on the
autosave, and when it is 5, turn off the auto-save.

Does anyone know if apple has thought about modifying this, how about
Silicon Beach with its SuperCard ???
