	I'm new to Cocoa programming, and I have a problem: where do I store an application's settings that are global to all users of the application, and how do I manage a user's separate preferences? I've been poking around Apple's developer web site, and discovered the documentation for NSUserDefaults, which seems right, but I wanted some sage wisdom before I went very far in investigating this class. Also, is there a standard for global data? In addition to having user-specific data files, there will be application-wide data files, and I'm not sure where to keep them. Erik
