anEntry.newSlot := "Dead Mystery Writer"; EntryChangeXmit(anEntry, '|ProgNewton:Calliope|);Now if you print the entry you can see the new slot:
#440E875 {class: person, version: 2, sorton: "Christie Agatha", address2: NIL, addresses: [], pagers: [], address: NIL, postal_code: "", cardType: 1, anniversary: NIL, region: NIL, _modTime: 48616550, city: "London", email: NIL, bdayEvent: NIL, title: NIL, country: "England", name: {honorific: NIL, first: "Agatha", last: "Christie", title: NIL, class: person}, company: "", emailAddrs: [], companies: [], notes: NIL, anniversaryEvent: NIL, names: [], phones: [NIL], _uniqueID: 362, bday: NIL, emailPassword: NIL,
newSlot: "Dead Mystery Writer"}The new slot will not be displayed in the Names application, however, even though Names will maintain the new slot for us. In our own program, we could display the new full name entry with the extra slots by simply taking them into account in our display routines.
