You've already *started* in the right direction, you just need to keep going that way. :-) NSUserDefaults is the way to go, and USUserDefaultsContoller is the way to use it with bindings. Later, when you need to access the data from "elsewhere", you can read it with NSUserDefaults if you're using Cocoa, CFPreferences* functions from C, or even the "/usr/bin/defaults" tool if you want to access them from a shell script. What you *shouldn't* do is concern yourself with where the preferences are stored, or in what format. Worrying about those details is Apple's job. :-) sherm-- -- Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
