How to store and recall DBIDs

Hey all,

I currently have a SKILL program that is creating text on the board for me with certain fields being filled in by the user (i.e. "This is the property of <COMPANY>" where <COMPANY> is replaced by the user-input ). What I need to be able to do is create a SKILL program to be run later on down the line that can update the same line of text with a different input  (thus updating the string). I know that I can change text using axlDBChangeText but that requires a DBID for the string to be changed. How can I store the DBID from when I create the text so that I can use it again later?

I looked at using axlCreateAttachment with a disembodied property list but the reference documentation clearly states to not use this to store DBID's. I also considered writing those DBID's to a file and reading them back in later on but they are then recognized as string text not a dbid object. Any helpful ideas are appreciated.
