Okay, so a few things. A Shared Object can store things that are more
complicated than name value pairs. In fact, it can store complex data
structures, but not things like methods or typed value objects.

That said: You could store your data in a value object in the
application. That value object could be written to disk in a shared
object. 

Then you could load that shared object later and convert it back to a
value object using something like :

If this doesn't make sense, email me off the list and I will be glad
to help walk you through it.
