[Newbies] Application data management

[Jens Moenig]

In a deployed app I like to lock up the image and use class ReferenceStream
(which is, for once, nicely documented) to write/read app data, or any of
the availabe XML packages, if the app data is intended to be also processed
by other non-Squeak apps.
