setting/getting prefs is easy:

setPref thePrefName, thePrefValue

getting:

getPref(thePrefName)

--returns void if such named file doesn't exist (you would want to test for
that)
--SW adds a suffix of .txt but you don't need to reference that in your
getpref handler
--probably smart to limit the prefname to 8 chars (for 8.3 compliance - yuck)

and on a note- this is so easy. Why in hell has MM never implemented
FileIO this way, as a built-in lingo function, since they have done it so
painlessly in SW?! Expand the features to specify/create a folder and BAM,
rumors of 'difficult learning curves' start to fade.
