delete selectionset not working?

hi

according to the help files:

Delete

The Delete method deletes a selection set and all items in the selection
set. Neither the selection set, nor the items previously in the selection
set will exist after a call to the Delete method.

but in my code:

'delete blocks
blksel.Delete
'why didn't that work?

'this line will error saying the selection set was deleted
' dp "After deleting selection set count is still..." & blksel.Count

'but if i fill it again with the same block that was just supposedly
deleted,
Set blksel = GetBlocksNamed(blkname)

'they're back again
dp "After deleting selection set count is still..." & blksel.Count
'purge definition
ThisDrawing.Blocks.Item(blkname).Delete

'that line throws error - still ref'ed

I get this in the immediate window

After deleting selection set count is still...5

and the purge line errors with That object referenced

and the blocks weren't deleted

is the help file in error or am I doing something wrong?

tia

ps dp is debug.print

 

ThisDrawing.Utility.GetEntity

(see this? it is a nose.) <esg>
