The documentation for the getPropertyList() function says that the function returns a stringList object and to free the list when done. To free this object do I just simply use the destroy() method, then set the variable (that had the object assigned to it) to nil?

This is actually one of the few things that I can make it so it destroys itself as it's not a GUI control, so if it gets garbage collected it won't screw up the rest of the system. I'll do that in next version
