Subject: Re: [PD] numberboxes range

Actually, this is possible.

Send this message to a number box:

[param f f f s f s s(

where f is float and s is symbol according to the following syntax:

[param   <width>   <lower-limit>   <upper-limit>   <label>   <position>   <receive-label>   <send-label>l(

This works with symbol atoms too.
