You could use *saved* or *unsaved* preferences. Look at the Preference
Manager functions, particularly PrefSetAppPreferences. Just pass your
structure to this function and the system will save it for you.

Subject: Re: Databases
Thanks, that did help alot, it was much easier to read than the sample
programs...i've got another question now though, b/c I realized this may
not be the easiest way to do what i want....all i need to really do is
store a few things permanently into memory (ie. pop3 account, username,
password) so that they don't need to be hardcoded into a program but don't
have to be used each time....would it be easier to use something such as
files?
Thanks,
Ben
