Mark, thanks for the guidance. I'll see if I can finally get this to work. I can see there are several concepts that I have yet to master. (smile)

Hi Joe,

I would start with a template stack. When your standalone starts up, it should immediately clone the template and give it a name. For example "Untitled 1".

When the user quits or chooses the Save menu item from the File menu, you can show the prompt, asking whether to save or not, and show the save file dialog window. If the user chooses to save, you can optionally change the name and subsequently save the already cloned stack to the preferred location.

Your script doesn't save the stack, because the cloned stack has no file path. You need to give the save command a file path. Something like

 case "Save As..." -- save copy of stack
   ask file "Save file as..."
   if it is not empty then
     put it into myFile
     save this stack as myFile
   end if
 break

This doesn't work well with substacks but works fine if you clone the stack first.
