create a plist from script with iRev

[Thomas McGrath III]

Good idea, I will look into this one...

I can already create an XML version of a plist with dictionaries and  
arrays. But the iPhone plist is binary. So I have to copy the text I  
created from Revolution and then in the iPhone SDK view/convert the  
plist as XML -- then paste the text from REV -- then view as binary  
again and it is then binary plist. This works well for me in building  
them from the desktop but is not programatic for on-rev version.

I have a series of apps that I am building that will read the plist  
downloaded from on-rev that have info entered by web users.

-----------
My alternative is to download text from on-rev and then have the  
iphone app build the plist. But programatically that is a bit harder.  
Rev is much easier. Much much much easier.
