Inevitably, moments after asking for help I've found things to try.

In webapps/WEB-INF/longwell.properties there is a section
===========================
longwell.store.dir = WEB-INF/database

longwell.store.type = memory
#longwell.store.type = native

#longwell.store.type = biggles
#longwell.store.db.url = ...
#longwell.store.db.user = ...
#longwell.store.db.passwd = ...
===========================
and I'm now happily using a native store, simply by changing which
line is commented out above! It seems loading data works just fine
with -r: the data persists from session to session.

Two questions:
1) What are the consequences of turning off
"longwell.index.regenerate"? With this on, longwell takes longer and
longer to start as I add more data. But I assume it is essential. Is
there some way to incrementally add data and regenerate the indices?
Or am I just going to have to load all my data, turn regeneration back
on, and hope for the best?

2) Is there are preferred method of cleaning out a native store? Or is
it safe to simply delete the WEB-INF/database directory?

3) Is there any explanation somewhere of setting up longwell with a
remote database? I assume this is possible using Sesame's
HTTPRepository mechanism, but the "biggles" section of
longwell.properties is a bit terse for me :-)

And thanks for giving me such a fun toy to play with!
