Drawing a blank on simple code...

I have a set of custom properties in stack "X", a lot of which begin
with "options_<somename>"
I want to loop through them and get the values, so I have:
local tDisplayList
put the customKeys of stack "X" into tProperties
filter lines of tProperties with "options_*"
if tProperties is empty then exit to top
repeat for each line tLine in tProperties
put the customKeys[tLine] of stack "X" into tProp
-- do stuff here
end repeat
When I walk through this code in the debugger, I see that tProperties
gets a list of the names of all custom properties in the "X" stack. YEA!
Then I see that that list correctly gets filtered to just those that
begin with "options_" YEA!
Then I see the in the repeat loop the variable "tLine" get the name of
each "options" property in succession. YEA!
PROBLEM: put the customKeys[tLine] of stack "X" into tProp DOES NOT
fetch the value of the indicated property into tProp????
I know this is simple - and I have coded it before - but I can seem to
find my past code in prior projects and obviously am missing something.
