If I have a text editor program and a compiler,  I can save the source from 
my editor window (using Text_IO to write it) and then compile it with the 
compiler (using Text_IO to read it). This works like the user expects.

What the user doesn't expect is to run two copies of the text editor, change 
the configuration in one, and have that configuration disappear simply 
because they closed the other window later.
