I'm not ready to face the differences in where things go with mac &

Is there a way that I can store and change a string in a standalone

Should this, perhaps, be a custom property?
You can do this:
if the platform = "macos" then
put specialfolderpath("preferences") into tFolder
else
put specialFolderPath("0x001a") into tFolder
end if
That gives a path to the OS-approved place to store prefs. You should
probably create a folder there named for your app and then put your file
into that.
There's been some discussion about whether Apple still wants prefs
stored in Preferences in Mountain Lion (odd as that may seem.) To be
safe on all versions of OS X, you may want to use this instead for Macs:
put "~/Library/Application Support" into tFolder
