Because when you type "list" or "property list" or any combination of 
those into he same "dictionary" it gives nothing back! This is true 
all over the place! It's like having a normal english dictionary with 
an entry for (say) "Hog" that says "type of "Pig"" but then doesn't 
define a Pig!!!

It doesn't say that either!

I'm just finding myself getting increasingly frustrated by (the lack) 
of decent documentation!

Also from reading:

>>>put return & "myNewCustomProp" after myCustomKeys

Does it say anywhere that the last entry doesn't have/need a return 
character? The natural way of expecting a list to be formatted would 
be to have a terminator at the end of each line. If there is only one 
line, is there a return at the beginning of the line? at the end? 
none at all?

Thanks a lot
All the Best
