Ah ha - that's the ticket. Never noticed the function
property::get-value.
I'd prefer to design scripts that don't require this construct, but from
time to time, this facilitates a level of abstraction and reuse that can
reduce the size of my scripts a good deal.
Thanks,

Try this:
<property name="destination" value="PROD"/>
<property name="PRODDirectories"
value="//TPNDC1AS01/wwwroot,//TPNDC1AS02/wwwroot,//TPNDC1AS03/wwwroot"/>
<target name="directoryTest" >
<!--
Construct the name of property to access
-->
<property name="destDirsName"
value="${destination}Directories"/> <!-- I have corrected property name

Fetch the property represented by the value of the

<property name="destDirs"
value="${property::get-value(destDirsName)}"/>
<foreach item="String" property="deployDir" in="${destDirs}"

Subject: [NAnt-users] Property values as a property name ...
Is there any way in Nant to use the value of one property as the name of
another property?
Here is a sketch of what I want to do, but this will not parse/compile:
<property name="destination" value="PROD"/>
<property name="PRODDirectories"
value="//TPNDC1AS01/wwwroot,//TPNDC1AS02/wwwroot,//TPNDC1AS03/wwwroot"/>
<target name="directoryTest" >
<!--
Construct the name of property to access
-->
<property name="destinationDirsName"
value="${destination}Directories"/>
<!--
Fetch the property represented by the value of the
name:
-->
<property name="destDirs" value="${ ${destDirsName} }"/>
<!-- Doesn't parse/compile. -->
<foreach item="String" property="deployDir" in="${destDirs}"
delim="," >
<echo message="deployDir = ${deployDir}" />
</foreach>
</target>
