best way to read and write variables?

[Ken Ray]

Niklas,

You could do the same thing as you do in Authorware, but using a "do"
statement, as in:

-- Assume a comma- and return-delimited list of <variable>,<value> pairs
on mouseUp
  put url "file:c:\vars.txt" into varFile
  repeat for each line l in varFile
    do "put " & quote & (item 2 of l) & quote & " into " & (item 1 of l)
  end repeat
end mouseUp

I think most people haven't responded because they probably don't normally
keep variable data in external files. (Just a guess...)
