A non-AS mac programmer could probably answer this with more certainty
than I. If you needed to be sure that this existed before you created a
window, it would seem pretty straightforward to use the AS file
commands to create it or defaults in the shell. Much as I dislike
excessive shell use in AS, using defaults would probably be easier.
It would be possible to generate the whole file (using read/write
commands) I guess, but I don't know what the other two entries mean:
These look like window coordinates and sizes, and the key names would
seem to back this up.
