Write the file object to a file, something like this:

var prefsFile = new File( Folder.userData.absoluteURI + "/myScript/baseFile.jsx" );
// create the parent folder just to be sure
prefsFile.parent.create();

if ( prefsFile.open( "r" ) ) { // then the file exists and is openable
  var file = eval( prefsFile.read() );
  prefsFile.close();
  var file = file.openDlg( "Pick a file, Bozo" );
} else {
  var file = File.openDialog( "Pick a file, Bozo" );
}
if ( file ) {
  prefsFile.open( "w" );
  prefsFile.write( file.toSource() );
  prefsFile.close();
}

I do this all the time (and I mean ALL the time). I actually use a standard preferences object that stores name-value pairs for persistent data. That object is passed a file on instantiation and can load and save itself and any number of name-value pairs that I want saved. It even stores and recreates objects that are stored as values.
