+==== APK ====
+When you use SaveText while running in the DroidScript app, the value will be stored in DroidScript.
+When you first create your APK the text you have saved will **not** be bundled with the apk.
+The first time the customer runs the app, the default value will be returned by app.LoadText.
+If the customer installs an update to the app later, any values the app has saved will not be lost.
