I think [thispatcher] would be analogous to [sendcanvas], or, a pointer to the head of a glist, which you can get with [pointer] and use its "send-window" method to send messages to it. My canvas "get" method patch makes it possible to get a pointer to the parent of a canvas, so you can essentially write your own "sendcanvas" abstraction. -Jonathan > > Katja > > _______________________________________________ > Pd-list@iem.at mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> > http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list > _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
