Because Pd's parser is likely to eat up a "$" followed by a number as a banking

fee to pay the cost of sending messages. :)

Send this from the GUI:

(canvas_addy) obj 0 0 clip $1 $2

and it becomes this in Pd:

[clip 0 0]

There's also sys_decodeddialog/sys_encodedialog that is used for

canvas_find.

Additionally, I think you may have added another parser inside s_main

to separate filenames in Pd-l2ork (although that one doesn't have anything

to do with dollarsigns).

I have not yet decided where I want to add my own parser for the GUI port.

I think a Pratt parser for message-box math would be neat.

I presume this may pertain primarily to IOhannes and Miller,

I am trying to figure out what is the purpose of raute2dollar in iemgui objects? On an obvious level the function replaces # with an $ in a send, receive, and label symbols. Why is this necessary? Personally, I cannot think of a reason why it would be, but then again, I may very well be missing something...

Best,
