Any DungeonElement object (see previous mail) can save itself to a=20
file, and it will contain only it's data and that of it's children. So=20
we'll be able to easily support multiple files for apps which need it:


DungeonElement *dungeon =3D new DMProperties( "my.dungeondata" );
dungeon->load();
DungeonElement *crawler =3D new Crawler( "fred.crawlerdata" );
crawler->load();
dungeon->add( crawler );
=2E
=2E
=2E
crawler->save();
dungeon->save(); // but crawler data is also saved here, because it's a=20
child of dungeon

All done!
