Why does this script NOT work in a small stack?

on mouseUp
    palette stack "AUTOSAVE"
    put the short name of the topStack into TSTAK
    put TSTAK & " / " &  the time & " / " & the date into TSTAKN
    put TSTAKN into fld "TSTAKN"
    save the topstack as TSTAKN
end mouseUp

Does it work on a large stack?

It might be problematic with a stack of any size since the date returns a value that contains "/", which is used as a path delimiter on OS X and Linux.

What does "the result" give you after the save command?

If instead of changing the path of the current stack what you're looking to do is make a copy of it to a new location, I'd make a copy of the file itself and leave the in-memory stack alone.
