getProp syntax query

[Graham Samuel]

Mark, thanks for that. There is absolutely nothing of this in the LC Dictionary AFAICS, although after a search I realised that there is a very hard to read (IMHO) description on section 7.10 of the User Guide. I think at the very least a note should be added to the Dictionary entry, so I have submitted one, but I would be very happy if someone such as yourself corrects it. It seems a huge omission to me. The Dictionary should give at least the correct syntax for every type of statement.

Thanks again

Graham
