write an array:

dim charstats(1,4)

let (1,1) be hp, (1,2) be mp, (1,3) be speed, and (1,4) be xp

so then write:
charstats(1,1)=5
charstats(1,2)=5
charstats(1,3)=5
charstats(1,4)=500

then when you want to change one, just write it different:

charstats(1,4)=600
etc.

read "data arrays" thread in this forum, it discusses using Types to do what you are trying to do. Types are way more readable IMHO

If you have DBP, Types should be your friend

you can actually use types in DBC 1.13 using DarkEdit
(blast from the past)

Types are definitly the way to go.

TYPE AccountEntryType
Name AS STRING
Number AS INTEGER
Amount AS FLOAT
ENDTYPE

But what is the best way to save it to disk so you can continue play later?

if your using types the best way is to save it all into a text file, using the 'open to write' and 'write string' functions.
