Hush my mouth, and chop off my fingers...
I already have something in OvPro that does that very thing.

It's a Macro button containing... I even have an sprite in my pool for it.

{save_incremented()}

You save the first time manually.  "Myfile001"
thereafter at the click of the tool button is saves again as !Myfile002"
and so on.
