Does anyone have any examples on the get/setProps in real usage? I

some more insightful ideas on it's usage.
The way I use it is much more pedestrian than the Marks'. For me it's
a really easy way to make sure my interface objects get set to the
proper states. For example, let's say I want to toggle between an
'editable' and 'noneditable' mode for a text editor:
setProp editMode pMode
if pMode then
enable button "Save"
enable button "TextColor"
set the lockText of fld "myfld" to true
set the traversalOn of fld "myFld" to true
else
disable button "Save"
disable button "TextColor"
set the lockText of fld "myfld" to false
set the traversalOn of fld "myFld" to false
end if
pass editMode -- the docs say you have to explicitly pass it to
have it set the prop
end editMode
Anyway, this is a crude example, but illustrates how it's been most
useful to me. There may be several events in my program that could
trigger a change in edit mode for this field, but in each case all
I'd have to do would be to
set the editMode of cd "editor" to true ## or false
