[PD-dev] pd parser + creating inlets/outlets outside of new-method

hi all,

i'm writing a minimal forth for pd, and i ran into the following problems. maybe someone knows how to tackle them?

1. creating inlets/outlets on the fly (i.e. after an object is constructed) seems to work perfectly, except for them not being displayed in the gui. what should i do to 'refresh' ?

2. is pd's parser available through some api? i'd like to load a textfile and convert it's content to pd messages / lists inside an object's constructor. (right now i need an external [textfile] object to boot a forth object, by sending it code one line at a time, and obviously this is a problem when the object has inlets/outlets).
