Thanks Jacque - info safely stored in my “how to make a mobile app look like 
one” archive!

Thanks for the other info about properties - how would you then refer to a 
property that isn’t shown in the Property Inspector for a widget, such as 
fontColor (or whatever)? I assume the array is just a way of accessing the 
whole collection and not the route to setting an individual property - but I’m 
probably wrong.
