Jacque's tests actually, not mine. I just suggested that there might be a difference. And even in Jacque's tests it's not quite clear what the engine is doing under the hood. In the second of her tests, the one that takes ten times as long, she's explicitly loading the custom property each time through the loop; while the faster repeat loop is no doubt using a cached copy. I can't at the moment think of how to run a test that separates these things, but that could be because I've been working on a bottle of Laphroaig and I'm not about to do anything with my computer right now other than send out silly emails. > I am curious though about your comment on storing multi-dimensional arrays > in cProps.

Multidimensional arrays can most definitely be stored as custom props. Unraveling them can be a bit weird, but yes. -- -Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.net _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
