Kevin,

what about a sandboxed enviroment, like a function to save a stack and 
another to load. You cannot specify where to save for the Dreamcard app 
will save it to it's own folder. This way we can save stuff and load 
stuff, and there will be no harm in it. Also we could only save and 
load stacks. maybe this handler could be something like secureSave and 
secureLoad. The user could be prompted and asked if he would allow to 
save or load from this app, much like the Apple Keychain does.

What about this approach, it can be easily implemented without altering 
Dreamcard code, this could be done in transcript level, no need to put 
that on the engine itself.... it could be done in couple hours and 
would make big time for us...

cheers
