I am working at a dissector for a protocol with a dictionary. During the
initialization phase of the protocol the client sends querys for dictionary
entries and gets apropriate responses (tokens).
The client is using this tokens for execute requests. The meaning of the
execute request cannot detected without the token information.

I must dissect that protocol even if I missed the start of the conversation.
Since the dictionary, that contains the tokens does not change for a
specific server version, I want to remember the dictionary contents from one
Ethereal session to the next.

I can read the dictionary in plugin_register(). But what is the best place
to write it to a file?
