Step by Step Dictionary Editor

2000's icon

Hello,

At the risk of sounding stupid I'm stuck on something in the Step by Step book. I can't seem to clear and reload the dictionary editor. As far as I understand the clear message doesn't seem to clear the editor. I was looking at the help file and there's a remove message there. But I can't work out what to call the remove message if this is even what it needs. Having said all this I'm not sure if I'm failing to understand something in the these objects work. I've attached the patch, but because some of the objects are bundled with the book I'm not sure if they're available.

Thank you

clear clears the [dict]
The dictionary Editor, which you access by double-clicking on the [dict] object doesn't update its display when you hit clear. To verify the content of the dict after clicking, close the Editor, re-open it.
