Point of confusion - Custom Properties

[Phil Davis]

Hi Jim,

I should have also said:

If your stack has actual 'dontShow...' custom properties, those 
properties are just data containers. Your 'openCard' statements that 
refer to them in your example will change their values just fine without 
using 'getProp' or 'setProp' handlers.
