I have been wondering about this also and am confused as to why the standard
read and write file commands would not work. The revlet is sitting in a
directory on a server, just like a stack sits in a directory on your local
hard disk. You want to read or write a file in a directory relative to the
stack or revlet. So why wouldn't

 open file fpath for write -- where fpath is the directory your revlet is
in, for example
 write fld "data" to file fpath
 close file fpath

work on the server just like it works on your local hard drive, especially
if the plugin is supposed to support virtually all of Rev's commands?
