Now I have two more questions :
1. how do I make the dollsym "$0-something-$1"
in a messagebox ?
it seems like I just can't.
(I mean using messagebox-edition commands like adddollsym)
Also,
3. how do I make the dollsym "something-$1" in a messagebox ? it seems like I just can't.
Ugly hack: you could dynamically patch the following to get $1-$2:
[2( | [adddollsym 1-$$1( | [ (
You have to dynamically patch because saving [$1-$$1( will give you [$1-$$1( the next time you load the patch.
I guess "adddollsym" was designed at a time when you could only put the dollarsign variable at the front of a dollsym.

2. how is one supposed to handle receive-symbols
and send-symbols the
way floatbox, symbolbox and
IEMGUI do, with $ in them ?
I need something to read the
"raw args", before $-substitution.
