does anyone have a more elegant solution to this?
Instead of all the [del] objects I would recommend to use [t b b b b] etc. to specify the order, in which the various messages are executed. In some places your execution order still is undefined, e.g. in front of the [tabwrite] object. It may work now, but as soon as you edit this part, it may just as well stop working. You should read the html manual's chapter 2.3: "messages" several times to really understand the implications of the message ordering and how important correct triggering with [trigger] is. It's reallyreally important, I cannot stress this too much. There are also some help patches on the topic.
Writing to a table is a quite common way to do state saving in Pd and enough for many uses. If you run into a situation where you want more flexible state saving (including saving symbols) you could look for example into my Memento/RRADical approach described here: http://footils.org/cms/show/1 or for a similar, but external-less version I would recommend my "Stupid-super-simplistic State Saving ADVANCED" abstraction, first presented here: http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-announce/2006-02/000874.html and since a couple of minutes it's also in CVS in /abstractions/footils/sssad
