Bummer.  The whole system of accessing Custom Fields from scripts
seems so obtuse to me.  Why must we call all these methods to get at
the values?  I think it would be nicer from a programming standpoint
to be able to do things like this:

while my $a_custom_field (keys %{$self->TransactionObj->CustomFields}) {
    print "$a_custom_field  -->
$self->TransactionObj->CustomFields->{$a_custom_field} \n";
}

Perhaps these data structures are already in place and I just don't
know how to access them?  Can somebody enlighten me?

thx,

Chris
