ok. i am only trying to explain why it is like it is without resorting to implementation-issues, but instead based on a more conceptual basis (which i don't have any guarantee to be true, since i have not designed the system; this is my view of the world i have come up with after a long time of paptching) to reiterate: a message-box works only on messages. a message-box is only a way to "freeze" a message in time (it's hard to patch messages that only exist in an instant of time otherwise). it is concerned only with messages! $-args in message-boxes are a way to modify messages. since messages don't have a patch-context, neither have (their patchable instances) message-boxes. mfgasd IOhannes ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
