That is, checking that a folder exists for your app (probably using the bundle identifiers like preferences do), providing facilities for a generic storage dictionary like the preferences, and the ability to get a path to your application's folder in Application Support for storing things that you need to write directly (if you are just copying a file, for example). It could also handle the sort of synchronization that Dave was referring to in his original post.
