Oh, c'mon, don't panic, it is even REALLY HARDER to do so with other
tools!
The most ugly way i've ever seen, was offered (?) by MM "Director"...
Brrrrrrr ;-)

OK, you can loop through all your (necessary) controls and put them
PLUS their values into a list, which you can then save as a text file...
Or do it manually, if you only have a couple of controls:
...
put "Name of checkbox 1" & TAB & the hilite of btn "Name of checkbox 1"
& CR after myprefs
put "Name of checkbox 2" & TAB & the hilite of btn "Name of checkbox 2"
& CR after myprefs
etc...
delete char -1 of myprefs ## get rid of last CR
put mylist into ... see below
And here is the advice WHERE to store your bloody prefs :-D

Then on "openstack" or whenever you can read in that list, if present
and act accordingly...
XXX -> see above
...
if there is a file XXX then
put url XXX into mylist
set the itemdel to TAB
## we saved the list as a tab delimited list...
repeat for each line l in mylist
set the hilite of btn (item 1 of l) to (item 2 of l)
end repeat
end if
...
You get the picture...
