I'm building a training module that contains lessons.
I double clicked on a display icon and an alert came up
and stated that it was "Unable to edit this display
because too many records." What does it mean
when they say records?

It means your file has too many icons.

I figured that was the case, so I went back and deleted some. After I did that,
I just inserted one icon and that message came up again. That shouldn't be
doing that if I already deleted some, correct?

It means you have too many records ;-)

Icons contain records. Functions are contained in records. Variables are
contained in records and, depending on what you do with them, could
themselves contain multiple records. Weird, eh?
Be frugal with your items. Don't create a new icon variable every time you
need a counter. Don't load your self up with variables and then leave them
behind if you don't use them any more (delete unused variables).
Oh and "Save and Compact" because records are used by icons that you insert
and not always reclaimed until you save and compact.
