If you have state that should persist between generator runs,
e.g. to parameterize generators, a good solution is to have that information as
properties in the model, e.g. of the top level graph from which the generator is
run. To separate these parameters from the top level graph, you can store them
in a separate graph type which just holds the parameters and a link to the top
level graph.
If the parameters are temporary, you could use
prompt...ask. If the parameters are per
user, and should apply to all generation for that user, you could use text files
in the working directory, read with
filename...read and assigned to
variables as necessary (a regex translator could easily separate the left and
right parts of a line in .ini file
format).
