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?

Except that it doesn't say anywhere that the last item in the list doesn't have a terminator, so the line:


put "CustomTest1" after myCustomKeys

doesn't append to the "list" it appends to the last item of the list! Instead you have to do:

put return & "myNewCustomProp" & return after myCustomKeys

Which means that you *HAVE* to know the details of how RR handles "lists" and therefore need documentation!

Questions: if myCustomKeys is empty, would the statement:

put return & "myNewCustomProp" & return after myCustomKeys

Create a new blank entry as the first item in the "list"? If the last item in the list had a terminator, would it create a new blank entry in the last-1 item of the "list" ?

I realize this is partly about documentation and I haven't read through the whole thread, but I think a simple way around all of this is to use the following code:


put "my New Line" into line (number of lines of myList + 1) of myList

This has worked well for me.
