Re: Appending multiple dictionaries to a plist

Ok I got it working,

I followed a few of your suggestions, and simply copied my plist to a
dictionary before I wrote to it, and then added the profile attributes in a
child dictionary. I then used the profile name as a key for the parent
dictionary, then wrote back the parent dictionary back to the plist. Works
great.

Thanks goes out to you crazy kids for your help,

John Farmer
