Newbie question...

["Brad Melendy" <webforumsuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can an extension be made to do things like automatically save a copy of your 
currently working file with another name?  Basically it would need to do 
file operations on the local hard drive (not the server).  I'm entirely new 
to extensions but am interested in writing one that will duplicate the 
"history" feature of Eclipse, where I can have a timestamped/named file 
created in a folder on my hard drive at each save.  Thanks for any help.

PS.  I've ordered the only book I could find on the topic and am going to 
try and do this but any tips or hints I can get are greatly appreciated. 
I've found extensions development to be a not very well documented feature 
of dreamweaver.
