Hi, if variables are just litlle strings, then lingo getPref/setPref is enough. Other choice is propSave Xtra (free, from www.pimz.com) : it's this xtra main purpose (also vList, from updatStage I beleive... but not tried a lot) Another consoderations is : should it be for shockwave or off-line? (fileIO, propSave, buddY are NOT shockwave safe) HTH, Séb [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/LUJ/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Lingo-L is for learning and helping with programming Lingo.
