Just an additional note.  If you save state in your application by 
saving the program stack each time the user quits be aware that this 
will not work on NT/2000/XP and OS X systems where the user does not 
have administrative privileges.

What Revolution probably needs are some functions for getting/setting 
preferences that would do the right thing on each platform (Registry on 
Windows, pList on Mac, etc.).  You of course can roll your own that 
just stores preferences in a stack file that you save in a folder that 
all users can write to.
