[Newbies] Application data management

Hi,

I am thinking of how application data is best persisted in squeak apps. 
Probably I have problems in distinguishing the Squeak "platform" and  my 
Application.

If I see my application as a part of squeak, then I guess there's no 
need for custom resource management - as soon as a user does "save.." 
all is saved automatically, including my app data (here its just a list 
of filenames).

Is that the intended way? Or is "Save..." intended for developing only? 
Gee squeak is really different.

Otherwise, I could do it all manually, persist my data to 
somehomedir/.myappdata

How can I get the current user home?


Thanks for your comments.

Felix
