Does openpanel destroy depth-first? It won't complete the cycle here until I choose a file, but once I do it prints the extension ".trs" before the truncated filename. I know sometimes [print] works differently depending on depth-first, but this are two distinct branches; and the second one fires before the first every time. If the middle bang is rerouted to the " sequencer.ji" message instead of the openpanel, it prints correctly.

I'm also not sure how I can reassemble the individual stuff into a single symbol again. [pack] is the old standby, but I don't know how many inlets it will need.

this is possible with [symbol2list] from zexy. just send a [symbol( to
the right inlet. if you then send a 'symbol dog' to its left inlet,
you'll get 'list d o g'. with [repack 1] (also from zexy) you can make
'symbol d', 'symbol o' and 'symbol g' out of it.
