Hi,

    Is there a better way to do this?

====================

Specifically, is there a better way to get at a property constant with
an elisp formula?  It seems the value is automatically put in parens
such that $h_3 is (11) which is a little awkward.  On the other hand,
maybe I can use that to store a list in a property.
