You cannot edit the symbol table.
That symbol #pt is stuck that way. You could make a new Director movie and copy everything over there.
You can NEVER get a symbol #member to be #MEMBER, though, because those are hardwired into director.
What you need to do is realize that because symbols are like this, programmers should not try to get capitalization results from symbols.
If you require a certain capitalization, you should have a look up table, or use strings instead of symbols.
case thisSymbol of #pt: x = "pT" #px: x = "pX" etc
or instead of [#pt:1,#py:3...] use ["pT":1, "pY":3 ...]

Closing Director will not make it go away, unless you're only talking playing in Director and not actual director files.
