clear recent files list from the menu

In LC8, if you go to File/Preferences/Files and Memory and then change the
value in "Number of recent files to store" it makes no difference to what is
displayed in the 'recent files' list. If you do the same in LC7 it also
doesn't seem to make a difference.

But if you do it in LC6 it works - and if you then change the value back up
to what it was before it will have 'forgotten' what was there previously
(and so effectively clearing files from the list). Now, if having done the
deed in LC6, you reopen and check LC7 and LC8 you'll find they also are now
boasting reduced 'recent files'

Please note, I only tried this kludge on a mac (el cap) with already
installed versions of LiveCode...

PS: it doesn't feel that this is important enough to create a bug report?
