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.
