Thank you Shane

I'm still not sure if I get it, but I might be changing my strategy anyway.
What I would want is some way to store the properties of find (and change)
preferences in a human readable form, preferably in a text file, so it would
be possible to edit the strings, without InDesign and distribute these find
and change "sets".

I am thinking of three different approaches:

1) pure text, I guess I would then have to identify the properties by line
numbers or some text delimiter

2) XML, then I need some XML parsing abilities. I think Late Night
Software's XML Tool would work, but I really would prefer not to use and
OSAX

3) To store it as a script, if it's possible. Can you have a script that
creates a new script file, that you can later load?
