Designer:

- Corrected Project Information not being displayed when loaded for editing
 - Re-wrote Designer Save code to use the objects save code instead of FileManager. Resulted in 26% less code and cleaner source.
 - Project Explorer now checks Saved State of currently loaded object just like the Right-Click->Edit Object menu item does.

Engine:
 - ProjectInformation.Save() now implemented.
 - BaseObject.Save() now implemented. All objects inheriting from BaseObject can save itself. Including all Environment objects (Realms,Zones, Rooms) and Currency objects.
