(Nitr)os9 has data modules, Roger.  Generally used read-only, I've used them 
just a time or 2 to prove they worked.  I'd have to check the docs now to see 
if they can be writable, however, whats written would likely be lost on the 
reboot without some new dance steps to update the disk copy.

IIRC Dale Pucket did an article or two on data modules that was covered by the 
rainbow, but I have NDI what ish's they were in now.
Easy to implement, and doable.  You just have to figure out how to effect the 
save in a quasi automatic way.
