The result of the above script:  666

As I remember from my days of perl scripting, 666 for a file pretty much 
means that anyone can read/write the file.

So with that in mind, how does anyone else write their preferences on a 
Mac?  I'd rather just put the prefs in a custom property, but there's no 
way to save the data within the standalone other than write it to an 
external file.
