Brilliant - I had missread you and have not got as far as learning how to use Wireshark :-)
I would still like to know how to delete a heuristic dissector though, as the template shows you might need to delete one for preferences. I am maybe also misunderstanding the end of the template. Perhaps you only need to delete and re-add a dissector is one of the variables used to register the dissector has changed (for example a port number)? If the preference variable is just used locally in the dissector then can I not bother deleting and re-adding it?
