I read:
I'm puzzled because I only get the first dollar expanded while the second is considered as literal. For example I get things like
from m_atom.c:
/* convert an atom into a string, in the reverse sense of binbuf_text (q.v.)
- special attention is paid to symbols containing the special characters
- ';', ',', '$', and ''; these are quoted with a preceding '', except that
- the '$' only gets quoted at the beginning of the string.

Ok, I was trying to use PD without looking at the internals... thanks.
It's also explained in the HTML-manual:
""" 2.6.5. dollar signs
In message or object boxes, message arguments starting with a dollar sign and a number (like "$1" or "$3-bazoo") are variables which are substituted with values supplied as part of the environment the message is passed in. """
Note the "starting with a dollar".
