[comp.ai] OPS5 - is there a reset?

I would like students learning OPS5 to sit in an emacs 2-window set-up,
with ops5 in one window, and their source in the other. No problem about
this - BUT there doesn't seem to be any way of allowing them to clear
out production memory as they load different sets of rules.

Does anyone out there know how I could provide this facility - something
that worked like remove does for WM? Since the rules are compiled into a
rete network, removing individual rules is probably too hard, but a
reset facility which got rid of all of them would be really useful.

Some implementations of ops5 _do_ have this facility - at least the one
by ExperIntelligence running on apple macs does. So can any ops5 wizard
tell me how it might be done?
