Object properties
Objects can have properties (often called attributes in the Corba world) which can be inspected or altered (though some properties may be read only). E.g.
count = Table.RowCount
String valued properties have a trailing $ as in
m$ = Obj.HelpText$
Generally a property can be used anywhere where an equivalent variable was allowed.
Properties are actually implemented as a special type of method but this is handled internally by KCML. The properties applicable to an object can be seen using the Object Browser in the workbench.
