I have just started using vList a couple months ago, and I use it all the time now for saving encrypted lists of text, pointers to files, etc. I don't use it for general list handling--I couldn't see any real reason to...
I did try using the function which allows you to save the media of a castmember to a Vlist, and just couldn't get it to work the way it seemed to say it did in the docs - no matter how I did it it always attached to a pointer in memory rather than the media.

Hey all,
So, I've recently added vList xtra to my Director repertoire (previously devoted to propSave for such functions.)
But now, after fully reading the docs, it has me wondering - how are people employing this tool? The question comes from the fact that vList supports a lot of new list handling methods. Are you using vList only for saving files, or do you use vList in memory as well for general list handling?
I'm about to rework an application to support a more complex file format, but I'm wondering if it might be worthwhile to redo some of my other lists which don't get saved, but could benefit from some of vLists functions... which got me to wondering the above question. In a nutshell - do you end up using vLists for all of your lists?
Thanks for any input. -- Troy RPSystems, Ltd. http://www.rpsystems.net
