The script   EditNewVersionOfFile   copies the active document to a new window
and saves it as a new version of the original file with a quasi-versioning
system by choosing the next available version number from the files in the same
directory as the original file.

Ever find yourself in the middle of what you thought would be some simple
changes to a file which turned into massive changes and you wish you had started
on a new file? Or maybe you want to use the current document as the basis of a
an entirely different one, but you still want to keep the old one open? Of
course you can either: click "Save As" and save the file with a new name then
reopen the original file, or click on "Make a Copy/Backup" and save this new
file, then "Revert To Saved" on the current file then open up the new file.

So this is my version of "Make a Copy/Backup and open it in a new window". I
leave the "Revert to Saved" or many CTRL-Zs in the original file up to you.

NOTE: This code was liberally and respectfully built (stolen) almost entirely
from code written by Mofi and published on the UE/US forums as well as including
the several required functions published by Mofi in the scripts downloads. I
believe, as I'm sure do many others, that NOTHING would be accomplished in UE/US
without the tremendous presence of Mofi among us. Thanks for everything Mofi!

ATTENTION:
This script requires the functions in Mofi's FileNameFunctions which is by
default not present in this script file. Download the source code of
FileNameFunctions from
https://www.ultraedit.com/resources/scripts/FileNameFunctions.js  then copy
the whole function without the comments at the top and the demonstration
code at the bottom and paste it into this file.

This script requires Mofi's function GetListOfFiles which is by default not
present in this script file. Download the source code of function GetListOfFiles
from   https://www.ultraedit.com/resources/scripts/GetListOfFiles.js  then copy the
whole function without the comments at the top and the demonstration code at the
bottom and paste it into this file.
