I've not dealt with plist files before. Are there good examples of
creating, writing to, and reading from one? What's the difference
between that and just any text file?

do shell script "defaults write com.fleisher.ken SomeDefaultsKey
'Saved string value'"

set saved_key to (do shell script "defaults read com.fleisher.ken
SomeDefaultsKey"

Note that with this kind of method, it's generally much easier to use
default values as string, boolean, or numbers rather than arrays or
dictionaries. For a small utility, that's usually all you'd need anyway.
