I don't know if this is available in tools or not and am not sure
enough of what I want to post this in authoring or tools:
I would like to have a version number incremented when saving,
something inconspicuous like v:xxxx that is in the html so that
when there is an error it is easy to find out which version of
the page/scrip is in error.
I suppose that inserting a date/time would be ok too:
201202061423
but I would prefer the 4 digit version number.
I know I can do this manually, but when in development I save
about every 2 minutes and always forget to to the increment.
What do people think of this idea and any ideas on how to
implement it ?

HTML-Kit Tools can automatically update date/time for you when you save
a document. You can set it up this way:
Open a HTML document and place caret inside <head>...</head> section. Select "Edit > Extra > Insert Document Settings Block" from the main
menu. Check "Add date/time label" and click "OK."
Now the datestamp will automatically update when you save.
To get a date/time-based version number like 201202061423, you can
change datestamp format to:
<datestamp format="yyyyMMddhhmm" />
Hope this helps.

That works for the file, but even removing the comment block, it
will not display because the tag <datestamp is not recognized by FF.
I want a simple versioning number that will display on the page.
Note: I am using AJAX to load program fragments into divs, no
"head" section, but that should not matter a bit.

You have to keep the comment block inserted in step #2 and keep
<datestamp format="yyyyMMddhhmm" /> tag inside the comment. It's not
meant to be exposed outside the comment so FF or any other browser won't
see it.
This is the part that you can move around the document:
<!-- datestamp:begin -->Move this line where date/time label should appear<!-- datestamp:end -->

That works fine, sorry for not reading the instructions well
enough. Now let me request an enhancement:
<C format="n:xxx" />
or perhaps
<numberstamp format="xxx" />
where n: means it is a number and xxx is the number of digits.
Then when saving the number is incremented by one.
You could make it fancier and allow setting the number to a
starting value, but I think that is unnecessary and could be
handled by manually changing the number after the first save.
BTW, it should be noted that non-format characters are preserved
and handled correctly,e.g: "yy-MM-dd hh:mm" formats correctly.
Great feature Chami.

sometimes you don't reply because you have put the request in the

Which is it here ?

I was working on this, but stopped to think about the best format for
this. I didn't want a quick implementation to be the default.
So let me move this to the to-do list. If you'd like to monitor the
status you can post this on "Help > Feedback" otherwise I'll announce it
in the ChangeLog.
And I'm sorry about my bad habit of waiting to reply until a request is
implemented. Sometimes they take longer than I imagined. Sometimes I
don't want to promise a feature without researching feasibility. So this
reply before or after thing is something I'm not sure how best to handle.

Those of us that know and love you recognize your desire to "fix
before communicating" and are not offended. Perhaps a quick one
liner reply, like "good idea, I'm working on it" might suffice ?
here are some templates:
"good idea, I'm not sure it can be done, give me a few
weeks|months to check it out."
"good idea, I am working on it, give me a few weeks|months."
"good idea, I doubt it is possible, I'll let it rattle around in
my brain and announce in the changelog if it does turn out to be
possible."
"are you kidding ? That is the worst idea since Wonder Bread.
Don't hold your breath. On the other hand, I might change my
mind sometime. Check back in years|decades."
