<p>In SuperCard and Oracle Media Objects, the <b>define</b> <glossary tag="command">command</glossary> is used to create a <property tag="customProperties">user property</property>.</p><p/><p>In LiveCode, you can use a custom property simply by setting its value with the <b>set</b> <glossary tag="command">command</glossary>, without creating it first, so this <glossary tag="command">command</glossary> is not needed.</p>
