Although in the process I discovered [addcomma $1( for 0.39. I had problems with 0.39 before, so I have been using 0.38, but I may have to try to switch. This way I can use a float to tell a message box which of a string of messages to pass on.

hi chuckk

you could try to do something with [list]. you could store the instr-names
in a list. then you can get the name of the n-th instrument by getting the
n-th element out of the list (see [list split]).
there is also [index] from zexy, which is designed for assigning symbols to
floats.

good luck
