I'm wondering if there are any differences between storing regular, datum-derived information in a list versus something like content, such as icon files or sounds. Would it be more efficient to initialize lists of multimedia content in a central location, like a master sound library, which either proc call constructs the lists as needed, or stores them as centralized variables?


I ask because resources seem to be handled differently than datums in DM, so it may be that they are also stored differently. The practical application would be to pick() a random content file from a list of stored possibilities for whatever may be wanted at the time. What's the proper way of doing this?
