You can still store properties within your own script. If you prefer plist
files, you can take a look to "man defaults" in a Terminal window, whose
syntax is pretty easy:
do shell script "defaults read pref_file_name pref_name"
and
do shell script "defaults write pref_file_name pref_name new_value"
You still need some auxiliar handlers, to create the preferences file if it
doesn't exist, create an applescript list object from a plist array, and
back, etc.
Cheers...
