XML is the way to go for inter-app data transfer, but FWIW if your app
was the only one using it you can save arrays to disk using
arrayEncode/arrayDecode:
global gMyArray
on LoadData pFile
put url ("binfile:"& pFile) into tData
put arrayDecode(tData) into gMyArray
end LoadData
on SaveData pFile
put arrayEncode(gMyArray) into tData
put tData into url ("binfile:" & pFile)
end SaveData
