> [obj 20 20 array define $$1-snd0] this only works as long as you don't save and reopen the patch, where "$$1" will become "$\$1" (which is resolved to "$\\$1" instead of "\\$1").
this should do the trick: [0( --> [makefilename $%d] --> [;pd-mysubpatch obj 0 0 array define $1-snd0( one case where this is necessary is when you dynamically create pd patch files which take creation arguments or need $0-symbols.
