I'm thinking of writing a script which will be called from a C++
plugin.  The script will be called repeatedly, and will update an XML
structure that will eventually be written to a file.

Is there some way to create a persistent XML structure that can be
passed to the script each time it's called from the plugin, and
modified by the script?  I know I could write the whole XML doc to a
file and read it back each time, but that seems too expensive.

Thanks,

Well, it appears that I can do this as simply as invoking the session
engine with

#targetengine "session"

and that I can even create my own persistent engine with

#targetengine "whatevernameiwant"
