Basically I was saying typing stuff in a text file is easier than  
altering custom properties with a property editor and the message  
box; (mostly during development)


What if your data was this:

Would you tend to store the above in a text file? Or custom props?

On a side note, this is how I'm encrypting a local text file with  
registration info:

function lbencrypt tData
     encrypt tData using "blowfish" with password productInfo 
("regFilePassword")
     put the base64encode of it into it
     return it
end lbencrypt
