Maybe it's an *extension* problem; you can edit a *valid* plist, but not a

This gets me very close to a solutions using Defaults. From my very
limited understanding, the key value I'm trying to get at is buried
(embedded) within a couple deeper arrays(?). Changing the xml file to
a plist, I can get defaults to read the file (awesome).
I'm now stumbling while getting it to write a specific value. Not
sure if I have to read out the whole array (correct terminology?),
make changes and then write that chunk back or what. In the file, the
data I'm going for is under AuthName, which is under PPP, under 2,
under Network Services. A larger concern is that the "2" may vary
from system to system (it represents the network configurations on a
machine and some of the machines this is targeted at will have 2 or 3
network configs).
I realize this is getting a bit OT from applescript, but it's key to
a script I'm putting together. Further assistance appreciated.
