It's up to you and will depend on the type of program you want to write. If
each of these stacks will contain unique data and you need a way to save
that anyway then you could just save the stack as a custom file type. If you
just want to display some data that is saved somwhere else then do this
clone stack "MyTemplate"
set the name of it to "MytemplateClone"
set the destroyStack of it to true -- the long id is in it after cloning
...
close stack "MyTemplate" -- this will close and remove from memory
Next time you need a new stack then you just clone the template. The clone
will not be saved unless you save it: save stack "MyTemplateClone" as
fileName
