I don't know enough about the system to explain why you're getting
"list" prepending your output. But you could thwart that by following the "pack" with a message box of "$2 $3" or "route list" which would chop that pesky "list" off of your output.

Hello all,
I'm trying to get a simple command - value relationship to work in PD with difficulty. Basically I want a message to have a simple syntax like R 10 which would set the red value of an object to 10. So basically I wanted to use a route to sort the messages according to the first symbol "R" for example. So I have a pack s f which I take it should pack the "R" and the value into one list. problem is that when I put a "print" on the output, rather than getting "R 10" I get "list R 10". Seems to me I'm missing some vital logic about symbols..
