Using UserDefaults properly

Subject: Using UserDefaults properly

I'm writing a basic program to keep track of your budget, and as part of that I want to have a list of categories (like Car expenses, Groceries, etc.) that the user can define and modify. But, since the user wouldn't want to re-enter this list of categories each time a new document is created, I would like to store the list of categories somewhere "shared." What I have done--that works--is just store an NSDictionary with the information in the standardUserDefaults, using NSUserDefaults. However, since this isn't technically a "prefence" kind of thing, I don't think that's where I should store it. Would there be a better way? I mean, I wouldn't want to create a file that's outside of the packaged app, since the user might see it and delete it, thinking it's an erroneous file. Is there a way to save to a file and make sure that it's either invisible to the user or inside the package with the app? _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
