And I need to create this file "on-the-fly" from the application, as the information changes over time. So, creating a .PRG (with a class inside) on-the-fly, then compiling to a .FXP would work. Of course, I delete .PRG file once I compile it.

Dmitry,
I still couldn't understand your need but then you might consider encrypting/decypting the file as needed.
