Devin, Thanks for the assistance. I'm reproducing the few script lines that I found demonstrate the basic concept (in case there are others here who are as bamboozled as I was):
get line 2 of the customKeys of fld 1 put "answer the "& it &" of fld 1" into thePhrase do thePhrase That gets me the contents of the property. Apparently you have to use some indirection to get the -contents- of the custom property; why this is the case is beyond me. I'm a Hypercard kind of guy so I expect it all to be totally transparent. (*grin*) Again, thanks very much.
