I wrote this up once or twice.  I have no idea if it is available on the
web.  

I use a separate preferences file, and also store all PG window settings and
other PG goodies there.  I lock the resources on my App and everything works
great.  (And the app is not being written to, which will cut down the
possibility of damage to the app in case of a crash or lockup.)  The actual
changes involve only  three or four lines of runtime.incl in pg projects.
Quite simple and seems very solid.  I can send it privately, or post here
again.  Let me know.
