No cause for alarm, I am still (mostly) rational ;). I have been thinking of making a library of objects for things like select, route, trigger, etc. that would all be very consistent in their behavior, and easier to understand in their type handling. So far, it's just a vague idea, but discussions like these are very helpful to spur that thinking. .hc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. - Thomas Jefferson _______________________________________________ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
