You could use this, something I saved along the way. I *think* it's from the stdLib by Ken Ray and Richard Gaskin, but I've lost track.

on deleteCustomProperty tObjRef,tPropSet,tProp
   -- not sure where this comes from, it's not mine
   -- thanks to <whoever> !
   put the custompropertyset of tObjRef into oldPropSet
   set the custompropertyset of tObjRef to tPropSet
   put the customkeys of tObjRef into keysList
   set the wholematches to true
   put lineoffset(tProp,keysList) into propLine
   if propLine <> 0 then
      delete line propLine of keysList
      set the customkeys of tObjRef to keysList
   end if
   set the custompropertyset of tObjRef to oldPropSet
end deleteCustomProperty

This works fine. However I can delete the name of the object from the list of objects in the custom property?
