That's correct, Randall - you only need to "set" to both define and set 
the value of a custom property. Plus Rev has custom property *sets* as 
well, so you can keep arrays of data in custom properties.

So:

  set the age of fld 1 to 10  
  -- defines and sets 'age' custom prop

  set the scores["Ken"] of me to 75 
  -- defines the custom property set "scores" with one 
  -- key (element) called "Ken" and sets its value to 75
  set the scores["Randall"] of me to 90
  -- adds another key to "scores"

  put the keys of scores
  --> Ken
        Randall
