Whoah! :-(

How do you find out what you _can_ store in properties?

I was planning to replace a proprietary data storange thang that smelled like
properties to actually use properties, but there's no way I can do that if I
have to worry about what I can and can't store in string properties :-S

Anyone got any insights into why they behave like this?

cheers,
