arrays as custom properties or custom property sets

 i have been reading old posts to the list to try and figure out as much as
I can about using custom properties and custom property sets to store arrays
of data. But there is some indeterminancy in the list posts, as one might
expect, since they almost always address very specific needs. So, could
someone knowledgeable clarify for me how exactly one differentially loads
(and accesses) an array as a custom property versus a custom property set? I
want to have about 6 arrays, all as distinct custom properties, but in the
same set. My reason for doing things this way is simple -- if I make each
array a differnt custom property set, don't i always have to be setting the
custom property set to the appropriate one in order to access that array's
data? Thanks so much.
