Anybody know of a way to save persistent data with BT? Specifically, this is what I need to do: - My app will include a couple hundred txt documents containing information - The app will display these txt docs - The user may wish to edit a txt document and save changes - Changes will need to persist each time he/she opens the app. Possible?

It's got all sorts of simple routines to open, save, delete text files from the devices cache. You could copy / study the methods used throughout the core code that does exactly this. Example: reportToCloud method downloads and saves simple text file. I think the tough part will be how you'll implement the editing routines. Saving after edit will be easy with BT_fileManager. Not sure what interface you'll whip-up to allow editing. Comments If it's simple text....have a look at the BT_fileManager class.
