That sounds appropriate, but where do you get the return value? I thought about it a bit, and I couldn't think of an established method to get return values from sending messages to pd.

But if we are to use [r pd], then it would probably make sense to have a standardized interface for getting info. Maybe something like this:
[; pd get version( [; pd get canvasname( [; pd get path( [; pd get namespace(
