Hello,
I just wanted to summarize the solution:
// We start with a dictionary...
NSDictionary *someDictionary = ...
// We convert it to a string
NSString *plist = [someDictionary description];
// And now we convert it back to a dictionary
NSDictionary *newDict = [plist propertyList];
Thanks again for your help,
-- Tito

Assuming it works, the problem is to recreate the dictionary with
that string...
Poking around the docs, I see -propertyList is actually a method of
NSString, not NSDictionary. You can send -description to an
NSDictionary to get a string representation in property list
format, and send -propertyList to the string to get back the
original property list object, which in this case is a dictionary.
You could also use -[NSDictionary descriptionInStringsFileFormat]
and -[NSString propertyListFromStringsFileFormat].
