Can't set Palm Desktop custom fields

Hi - this is my first post to this list.

If I try to set one of the custom fields of an address with either of these
scripts...

tell application "Palm Desktop"
set text of custom 5 of address 0 to "howdy"
end tell

tell application "Palm Desktop"
set custom 5 of address 0 to "howdy"
end tell

I get an Execution Error that reads "Palm Desktop got an error" Can't set
custom 5 of address 0 to "howdy".

Since the value returned from "custom 5 of address 0" is a string (not a
list) something like "title:Sister, text:Cindy" I've tried a variety of
combinations of strings (and lists) that look like this and they all fail.

Does anyone know how to set a custom field ?

Thanks a bunch,
Irwin
