Oops, I'm using it with MC 2.4.2 and up. You are right, on MC 2.3.x engine
used by rev 1.x 

set the customkeys["x"] of object to empty

would not work.


Anyway, the following script is tested and should work with engine version
2.4.2 and up

In the script of the button...
on mouseUp
  answer "please choose" with "Create custom sets" or "Empty custom set" or
"Delete custom set" or "Cancel"
  if it is "Create custom sets" then
    
    repeat with j= 1 to 10
      put "Set1Array"&j into x
      repeat with i= 1 to 10
        put "Set1ArrayElement"&j&"."&i into line i of tElements
      end repeat
      set the Set1[x] of me to tElements
    end repeat
    
    repeat with j= 1 to 10
      put "Set2Array"&j into x
      repeat with i= 1 to 10
        put "Set2ArrayElement"&j&"."&i into line i of tElements
      end repeat
      set the Set2[x] of me to tElements
    end repeat
    
  else if it is "Empty custom set" then
    
    set the customkeys["Array1data"] of me to empty
    set the customkeys["Array2data"] of me to empty
    ## works with MC 2.4.2 and up
    
  else if it is "Delete custom set" then

    get the customPropertySets of me
    delete line 1 of it
    set the customPropertySets of me to it
 ## this works even with MC 2.3.x
    
  end if
end mouseUp

best regards
