hi i tried to use dollarsigns in the GUI-Objects and after some trying i found maybe a possible handling: if you type "$1" instead of "$1" the properties-dialog takes it and next time fills it with the arguments given. i recognized that (at least in windows) you should not mix up slash and a backslash. the slash confuses the object. i think the problem of copying objects with certain properties also appeared with upper und lower limits of numberboxes or when copying arrays. the recieves and sends are - for me - very helpful! marius.

My own question is how to prevent confusion when all the controls can have "send" and "receive" connections that you don't know about until you open the dialog. Someone could get in serious trouble copying and pasting
sliders
and wondering why they all seem to jump at once...! Also I'm baffled how
to
deal with dollar signs in send and receive names for GUIs.
