Quite right.

Yes indeed, you declared a property that is a reference to a Dictionary
object.  But which dictionary object, in particular, does it refer to? 
Initially it doesn't refer to anything (its value is Nil), until you
assign it to something.

This is very fundamental to how object references work in REALbasic, so
if you still don't understand what's going on, let's discuss it further
until it becomes clear.  (There are probably others on the list who are
just as confused about it, so it's useful discussion.)

Best,

P.S. When you reply to any post, please trim all but the key part
you're replying to, as I've done here -- nobody needs to see the entire
previous message (footers and all!) repeated again.  Thanks!
