Custom Props Set

[Phil Davis]

Have you ever tried this? It's what I always do when dealing with a 
custom prop set:

to deal with the keys:
     put the customKeys["uMyCustomProps"] of this stack into tKeyList
     set the customKeys["uMyCustomProps"] of this stack to tKeyList -- 
handy for deleting or adding elements

or to handle the set:
     put the customProperties["uMyCustomProps"] of this stack into 
tPropsArray
     set the customProperties["uMyCustomProps"] of this stack to tPropsArray

... where 'uMyCustomProps' is the name of the CPS.  Works for me.
