Kurt,
Hacking scx works (assuming baseclass="mylabel" is a typo). Maybe you're missing CRLF combination or using old mline(). ie: suppose you found caption property at line 3 and no forecolor property is set :

replace properties ;
  with stuff(properties, ;
   at(mline(properties,3),properties), ;
  len(mline(properties,3)), ;
  [Caption = "I hacked scx"]+chr(13)+chr(10)+[Forecolor = 255,255,0])

Remember if you force form to be saved by any change then next time you try this order of properties might be changed by VFP. You have to locate in each change. And you should query each mline separately.
OTOH using aselobj(), setall() on design form might be more easier.
