I've been having the program write a text file saved to the same directory as the program and then the program parses the text file upon opening. Is this the correct way to do it?

Also, try a search at rbgarage.com as there are a few ready-made solutions. There are appropriate locations on each OS. Storing preferences in the same directory as your app is not good form. Generally speaking, you should store the preferences in the appropriate sub directory within the user's home folder.
