Hi..
I don't like hashtables either and avoid them all the time. I know they are a lot faster than txt files but they are confusing to me. But i think i know some basics.
1st of all you dont need to restart mIRC in order to clear a hashtable. There is a command that does that. Which i cant remember right now but you can find it at the help files.
2nd of all, how do you save the words on the hashtable? I would save the word as the item and the responses as the value.
3rd of all. If you want to change the values or delete a word/words fast, you can create some aliases to make it easier.

P.S As i said i dont use hashtables either, but i just thought of sharing some practical solutions that might make hashtables more friendly to your goal.
