Attaching files to a document like a file system

[Bernard Devlin]

Bill, are you asking that your app InfoWallet should use it's
open/save dialogs to look into some stack/datastore to open/save the
file? If so, then I believe that is possible, but maybe not with Rev
as it currently works.  It would require that the Rev file IO code
should be able to hook into some kind of Virtual File System e.g. a
custom property set of a stack, or maybe even a relational database.

If your asking that other apps should be able to open/save documents
to InfoWallet, then I think that maybe be very difficult.  The only
way I can think for you to do that is to look at impliment something
like a webdav/ftp server within your app.  But even if that works, it
would require mappying the OS filesystem such that the filesystem was
talking to your in-built server.

It would be great to be able to treat the storage like a disk instead of attached files that can be imported and exported where you can open-from and save-to them and copy to and from it.
