Well, yes, obviously you have to store it somewhere! The point is 
that to the user the App is modified, they don't know it's stored 
somewhere else first and then transferred over into the App later 
(when it's not being used).

I just thought that RunRev must be doing something like this. I was 
wrong and it's handled in a different way, that's fine now that I 
know.
