New description:

 If I open the IQ points dialog in the Mac version Indiana Jones and the
 Last Crusade and try to clear the series IQ score, nothing seems to
 happen. At least most of the time.

 Right now I've only tested it on Linux running under Windows 11, and only
 right after loading a savegame. What seems to happen is:

 * clearSeriesIQPoints() writes zeroes to the .iq file.
 * updateIQPoints() the reads that file. (Though this may fail since
 clearSeriesIQPoints() still has the file open, and it may not have been
 flushed to disk yet?)
 * updateIQPoints() then synchronizes the series score with the current
 episode score. Except for me, it seems to be adding a lot of points that
 weren't solved during the episode.

 And that's where I gave up, at least for now.

 There is a comment about the resources for the series IQ score not always
 being valid (which is why updateIQPoints() has to load it from file?), but
 I don't know if there are similar considerations for the episode score.

 It would have been easier to just set the series IQ score to 0, but I've
 checked and the original does seem to sync the series IQ score with the
 episode IQ score when you clear it.
