Sorry for accidentally sending the previous note to pd-list.

Many thanks to you again, I know have it working with the way you suggest. Being fairly new to C and Pd source, I am still at the stage where I code with out understanding 100% of what I am really doing. This weekend has been very adventurous so far. Would you mind giving me directions to where I can find descriptions on the concept "signal graph" and where I shall look in the code to see it in action? It has nothing to do with the GUI object "graph" does it? -- David Shimamoto _______________________________________________ Pd-dev mailing list Pd-dev@iem.at http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
