Delete a single custom property set

[Ray]

John,

Thanks for this tip.  That's really weird though isn't it?  As I look at 
the variable I put the customPropertySets into I only see the names of 
the sets, not the properties (array elements) or their values.  
Nonetheless, it works when I put them back so I guess I have no worries.

Thanks,

Ray
