Hey Ivica,
Just make it a global, that's the easiest. Or use namespaces and namespace variables.

I am not all that good with tk. Only learned what I had to to hack together better version of pd.tk. Any examples would be most appreciated. How do namespaces work?
Also, after opening tons of windows that generate global variables, doesn't this effectively produce a minor but nonetheless present memory leak as the global variables will be hard to trace when deallocating those windows (see my other email re: improvements)?

Look at the new pd-gui-rewrite branch, it uses namespaces a fair amount. They are a bit overcomplicated in Tcl, but you don't have to use the complicated parts.

Hans, when you have a few minutes can you just sum up quickly how does it go with namespaces? I've familiarized easy with everything else in the sources, but i couldn't get namespaces do anything (thus my tabbed-console plugin doesn't see the popupmode setting).
Btw, i would be happy to clean up pdtk_post as suggested by the comments, but i have questions: - "this should be switchable between Pd window and stderr": how do you imagine this; a command line switch or from preferences...? - you mentioned you would shift popupmode to a plugin, is it ok if i give it a shot?
