A little late to this thread, but I couldn't resist generalizing this really
nifty idea:
on initializeCprops propList,tObjRef,tDelim
-- initialize a list of custom properties in one swoop
-- proplist is a comma-delimited list of <cPropName><tDelim><value>, eg:
-- put "tGender^M,tTown^Cambridge,nextAppt^1 month" into propList
-- initializeCprops propList,the long id of this card,"^"
-- tDelim defaults to <space> if empty
-- from an example by Geoff Canyon, use-LC list,
-- adapted by Peter M. Brigham, pmb...@gmail.com
if tDelim = empty then put space into tDelim
split propList using comma and tDelim
repeat for each key K in propList
set the K of tObjRef to propList[K]
end repeat
end initializeCprops
