Writing to Dict from Max

Hi guys, I'm trying to format messages coming from max into a Dict.

I can easily create categories with attributed values using the 'set' message but can't seem to achieve sub categories.
Is there a special way I have to format incoming messages to achieve this?

I answered something similar to this question recently:

you need to look at the replace message (very similar to set). The syntax is a little different than your message also. and uses double colons.

Aha! That works perfectly. Thank you.
