It's an Applet !IncSave Nick Kaijaks © 2001
From the !Help.
An Ovation Pro applet which defines a button macro which, when pressed,
saves the current document with a three digit numerical suffix. The suffix
is automatically incremented each time the document is saved.
The macro could equally be attached to a keypress or used in an
auto-save applet. It's called: {save_incremented()}
