Re: [PD] how to use a dollar argument

This discussion came up several times in the past. So far the people who didn't like $0 in message boxes always have won. ;)

I think, now that Pd (0.40/1) got a setable [send] and especially $-replacement in the middle of a symbol (not only at the start as it was until 0.39) the need to actually use $0 in a message box became less urgent. (See attachement)
