Can changes in text fields be saved by users of DreamCard Player?

I have taught myself enough scripting to be comfortable with the 
variables, containers, et al to launch eternal players (QuickTime, & 
midi sequencers programs to external midi keyboards) I need to run 
beneath my realtime presentation oriented music teaching stacks. I want 
to share the stacks with other music teachers in my school system who 
will just be using DreamCard Player. I have made buttons that allow 
them to put file paths in fields after they have browsed  to  create 
the paths to the media files and apps they need to run them.   I want 
the contents of the fields to be saved after each file browsing so they 
are ready to be slapped into myApp and myMediafile variables by 
pre-made button handlers. I don't want them to have to browse for the 
same media file and apps each time they come back to use these  
interactive PowerPoint on steroids music teaching stacks.

How do I make player save so the paths are in the fields the next time 
they open the stack with DreamCard Player?


I suspect there is going to be some sort of solution about saving in 
external files in default folders, n e'st pas?

Thanks, Andrew Nelson
