Not necessary to use ``do''. A simple: set the myPropName of this stack to <whatever> will work, as long as myPropName has a value, otherwise the custom property set will be the literal ``myPropName''. As I have written previously, the former use is proper syntax---consistent with transcript's use of variables generally, but the latter is not. If the literal is intended, it should be quoted (but that doesn't work currently; i.e., set the "foo" of this stack to <whatever> fails).


However, the name of the custom property I want to set is in the
variable myPropName.

So how do I make the spontaneous contents of the variable myPropName
into the name of a property, the contents of which I want to get or
set?

Use the "do" command, like:

  do "set the" && myPropName && "of this stack to" && \
    quote & "1234" & quote
