There is: the strtoks file. You can use it to delimit stored data with any
byte you wish: commas, periods, colons, asterisks, tildies, etc, or
xml/html tags. I use a definition for the word "token" that has a widely
inclusive scope, the words we use to communicate are tokens, anything
used to carry info is a token. Strings are a collection of tokens. This
sentence is a string of nine space-delimited tokens. This paragraph is a
string of sentence-tokens delimited by periods. If i put this on a web page,
then this page would be a series of paragraph-tokens delimited by <p> or
<br> or somesuch xml tags.

There is a routine to deparse() the data, you supply the data, it returns the
data as one seq, data delimited by the char/byte you specify. Generally,
you don't need that routine tho, sence you can append data just as easily
yourself.
