hi oliver,

unlike in the offcial 0.36-0 version, "send" and "receive" take a
"set"-message
[receive] from cvs does not accept 'set' message, currently (afaik), because nobody knows how to do it both safely, and efficiently, without changing the way Pd handles symbol bindings internally.
I suggested once (long time ago) a solution of providing a special, settable, argumentless [r], working less efficiently than the usual, not settable [r] with an argument -- as is the case with the c74's [r].
to change their argument. though this is generally a good thing, it leads
to
quite a few problems with my old patches.
(for example, i often send "set"-messages to sliders remotely, so they
change
their state without sending output. with the new version of send/receive
i
would change the remote names with the "set" message ...)
this is why [send] is not settable in max -- there is a separate [forward] object instead.
