Hey,
I just checked out [stdout] in pd 0.42 in extra, looks like a handy object. One comment, what about adding a second inlet that you can bang for the flush? This would be instead of the "flush" message. Then the first inlet can always just be passed straight through to stdout.

Good idea... but unfortunately it generalizes to any object that has an 'anything' method plus other specific ones, so if I started doing this I wouldn't know where to stop!
BTW, the help window doesn't make it clear, but the main reason for having stdout is for use with pd~.

Sounds good to me. :) I prefer inlets over custom message selectors when possible. I think they are cleaner and easier to use.

Ah, that makes sense. On that note, a [pdwindow] or [console] object for getting the data from the Pd window would be quite handy.
