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?
