The only problem with reading and writing to an external file would be along
the lines of file permissions, but I do know that there are also way to get
PHP type scripts to run sort of standalone as well, whereas here on my
windows machines, I run something called WAMP (windows apache mysql php) for
testing before uploading to the linux web servers.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] speculative html game programming
Hi tom.
Using a scripting language to handle game stats etc does indeed make
sense, however I was wondering if there might be a way to at least
temporarily circumvent the server issue.
various sites such as project.aon and Chronicles of arborell offer html
based gamebooks as download folders, which you then run completely
yourself on your own system.
As a vague beginning, ---- before I started looking into running a server
(not to mention locating space for one), I was wondering if something
along those lines might be possible.
thus, the player downloads the folder containing the html pages plus a
file, --- perhaps a dat file, containing scripting commands and values for
the character stats, inventory handling etc, and then manually runs it by
opening the appropriate first html page themselves.
Is this at all feasible? or am I barking up the wrong tree here.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
