Thanks for answering all the questions, Tom. You da man!
I wouldn't have ever guessed that proplist() is the constructor for a
new [:] in js syntax. I would have thought it would be
Mylist = new propList();
or
myObj = {};
I guess there's going to be a lot of trial and error in learning what I
think is some uniqueness in the implementation of js in Director. But,
I'm one day hoping to use one syntax everywhere. Let the laughing
begin.

Bingo! Valentin hit the nail on the head. You must (a) make a
_property_list_ (not an Array with named entries), and (b) use
symbol(someString) as the # character is not supported within JS scripts
(although the symbol data type is via the symbol() function).
