variables, arrays, or custom properties

[Chris Sheffield]

I have been saving to disk after each change.  My main
reason for doing this is because different sections
are bookmarked, and different data is manipulated in
each section.  So after a section has been completed,
the appropriate data is written to the database and
the bookmark is updated.
