Dear Leonid,

thanks for that link. I did see it before but it seems to work only with
"normal" tables [only numbers]. I do have image data as well in the list and
would like to save and load them. Of course I could convert them to a list
on save and back on loading but It seems quite a lot of trouble for a simple
read/write task.

BR
Matthias
