I have a set of custom properties in stack "X", a lot of which begin with "options_<somename>"

I want to loop through them and get the values, so I have:

  local tDisplayList
  put the customKeys of stack "X" into tProperties
  filter lines of tProperties with "options_*"
  if tProperties is empty then exit to top

  repeat for each line tLine in tProperties
    put the customKeys[tLine] of stack "X" into tProp

    -- do stuff here
  end repeat


When I walk through this code in the debugger, I see that tProperties gets a list of the names of all custom properties in the "X" stack. YEA!

Then I see that that list correctly gets filtered to just those that begin with "options_" YEA!

Then I see the in the repeat loop the variable "tLine" get the name of each "options" property in succession. YEA!

PROBLEM: put the customKeys[tLine] of stack "X" into tProp DOES NOT fetch the value of the indicated property into tProp????

I know this is simple - and I have coded it before - but I can seem to find my past code in prior projects and obviously am missing something.
