How is that not descriptive?
Because when you type "list" or "property list" or any combination of those into he same "dictionary" it gives nothing back! This is true all over the place! It's like having a normal english dictionary with an entry for (say) "Hog" that says "type of "Pig"" but then doesn't define a Pig!!!
I actually never had problems knowing what a list is... and I am pretty sure you don't either. You have to stop think in programmers terms, a list is a listing, a row of items, an ordered mass. Everyone knows that.
Also "propertylist" is just another way for saying: "that linedelimited list you get or set in relation to customKeys."
It doesn't say that either!
I'm just finding myself getting increasingly frustrated by (the lack) of decent documentation!
Maybe you shouldn't try to find documentation, and instead try to understand things, and if documentation is necessary for that, so be it.
Also from reading:
put return & "myNewCustomProp" after myCustomKeys
Does it say anywhere that the last entry doesn't have/need a return character? The natural way of expecting a list to be formatted would be to have a terminator at the end of each line. If there is only one line, is there a return at the beginning of the line? at the end? none at all?
Again you're overly complex. If you do this:
put return& "myNewCustomProp" & return after myCustomKeys
you will achieve exactly the same as the above statement! Yes RunRev keeps you from worrying about every detail, and that is a good thing, don't you agree?
