Newbie question: Saving User Data on iPad

Question

Hi
I am working on an App for iPad in Flash CS5.5.
In the app the user will be writing poetry and saving text on the iPad locally.
I need them to be able to decide which poem they load back into the app.
It seems to me this will qualify ofr saving to the /Documents folder.
I have looked at shared objetcs and dont think it will do that job.
Can I use FileReference on an iPad?
Will the user be able to browse the different files he/she has saved?
Can someone point me to some example code for saving to and loading from /Documents?
Best

Here is some basic code that will work.
import flash.filesystem.*;
import flash.events.Event;
var f:File;
var fs:FileStream;
var myDATAstring:String;
function CheckSettings():void{
            f = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("Storage_File_Name.txt");
            if(f.exists){
                getDATA();
            }else {   
             trace("Nothing stored yet");
function getDATA():void{           
          fs=new FileStream();
          fs.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFileOpened);
          fs.openAsync(f, FileMode.READ);
function onFileOpened(e:Event):void{
            myDATAstring=fs.readUTFBytes(fs.bytesAvailable) as String;
           fs.close();  
//****** Use this to save the high score *******       
function SaveDATA(s:String):void{       
            f = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("Storage_File_Name.txt");
           fs=new FileStream();
          fs.openAsync(f, FileMode.WRITE);
          fs.writeUTFBytes(s);
         fs.close();
