Regarding using custom properties as global constants. I understand one of
the issues here is the possibility of the program (or other programmer)
modifying the 'constant' --in this case the custom prop. But, one could
easily envision a setProp handler which would make this impossible.

Thanks a lot Joel. Very efficient.
Why not simply define the following script in the table field:
getProp cell[where]
put item 1 of where into tRownum
put item 2 of where into tColnum
set the itemdel to tab
return item tColnum of line tRownum of me

I understand where you Jacque are coming from storing constants as

wisdom of Alex's global constants.
