Hi Linium,
Well, $1- style substitution only works when the leading part of the string is $1 (or $2, etc.) The only way you can get double substitution is by nesting abstractions:
suppose "foo" calls "bar b1" and "bar b2" and suppose "bar" calls "raz $1-r1" and "raz $1-r2"
then $1-z1 and $1-z2 in the four copies of "raz" are "b1-r1-z1", ..., "b2-r2-z2" in all 8 combinations.
cheers Miller

Hello,
I notice that send and receive $1-$2 (and with more $ arg) don't work inside a patch for which such arguments are given. Only the first argument with $ sign is recognized and the other(s) seem to be translated as null.
Am I right and are there any workarounds ?
