Seems to me at first glance that this oughta be fairly straightforward,  what 
with all of the stuff that you get in MECCA to do questionnaires and such.  
Take a look at those particular mecca commands in your max docs.
The first thing you'd want to do is like with a door's dropfile,  try to do a 
delete file first,  getting rid of any older one in there,  then write out 
the info.  For the next caller a simple "display file" token oughta work,  
I'm guessing.
