Hello all, I've got a question about the [dict] object.

It seems if I manually add an item to [dict] through the dictionary editor:

...and if I then send [dict] the ( get "key name") message, it will give me a result I'm not expecting, which is the key name appended with the word string and then a number ID of some kind.

However, if I set the key with the message (set eminor "0 1 2 3"), and then use the "get" message, it will give me what I would expect, the key name and the value for the key, which in this test case is:

Is there a way to manually add items with the dictionary editor and use the get message to result in this last output I posted?

Why do you want a list as symbol in the first place? If you really need it then convert the string to a symbol.

If you use it like this below you can change the values with the editor without changing the format: 

I was containing the arrays as a symbol because I didnt realize you could use @legacy to output arrays as lists. This is good to know though, thanks!
