I would not do it that way. To make it more readable I would use: put the customProperties["Prefs"] of stack "Prefs" into tPrefs put "binfile:"& specialFolderPath("Preferences") & "/MyPrefs.dat" into tFilePath put arrayEncode(tPrefs) into url tFilePath
That is english readable as much as can be expected. I think that trying to make the code compact is counter to making the code readable.
