Hey Frank,
the main issues I'm trying to solve using $0 sssad are:

- to save presets of several gop abstractions and being able to restore those presets after machine shutdown
- a dynamic parameters routing; using a slightly hacked [sssad], my gop objects can learn with a click where to receive/send params from/to.
 
Initially [sssad PARAMETER_NAME $0] worked fine, but when the machine restarts after shutdown all $0 are different.

At the moment I solved this giving each abstraction a $1, then using [sssad $1/myparam], which is the obvious solution.
However, the system is quite complex, and assigning a $1 to each abstraction it's not practical. 
I think an alternative option involving $0 would be far more efficient in my case,

any hint?

thanks!

For which problem are you searching a solution? If you want to use a [sssad]
parameter to only communication with a local receiver/sender inside an
abstraction for example, you should put the $0 as second argument at the end:

[sssad PARAMETER_NAME $0]

You may need a fresh sssad for this, which unfortunatly is not part of
Pd-extended, so grab it from sourceforge or the rj-library (where it's called
[u_sssad])

Ciao
