I have a couple of questions concerning the use of labels in InDesign scripts. CS and CS2 are capable of creating and accessing multiple labels using the (AppleScript) syntax... 

TO CREATE A KEY AND SET ITS VALUE: 
	insert label key <KEYNAME_AS_STRING> value <VALUE_AS_STRING>

...and...

TO ACCESS THE VALUE OF A KEY: 
	set <SOME_VARIABLE> to extract label key

...but...

1) How do you delete keys and their associated values? There does not appear to be a delete label key command.

2) Why does this appear to be completely separate from the label string (unkeyed) that is accessible through the Script Labels palette or through the syntax...

	set label to <VALUE_AS_STRING>

...and...

	get label

3) Why do the keys not show up as a property value of the object(s) to which they're associated with?
