Right, after all kinds of bumping around Pd's sourcecode and reading the ANSI C guide... (my C experience has been limited to copy and paste previously)
Here's the thing. Check it out and I'll check it in. Best Luke

Okee - I whipped my first request up today: canvas_name and window_name can now access their parents. I shamelessly copied the code from iemguts : ). Forgot to add credit, will do before I commit. Hans, is it alright if I just commit the changes? I attached the diffs and Intel Mac compiled versions of both if you want to try it out.
I'm going to try to do the subpatch-name version now; do either of you have any tips on how to get the canvas/window from a symbol like "pd-$0.mysubpatch"?
Alright, I figured this out by looking at the tot sourcecode, so now my new question: How do I let [window_name] and [canvas_name] accept either a float or a symbol, looking up parents in the case of a float and looking up a remote window in the case of a symbol?
Attached is the symbol-taking remote window version. Cheers Luke
IOhannes, by the way, I compiled iemguts yesterday and wow, what an incredible number of possibilities those objects open up! All of them should be part of vanilla, IMO. Thanks so much for making them - I'll be making a ton of stuff with them in the coming months.

I think that ggee's getdir has a good model for how to do it. Basically, using numbers to represent how many levels down to get from.
this is the scheme i use with the iemguts objects: use numbers to represent how many levels to get _up_.

I think we mean the same thing, just depending on whether it is a tree or roots. ;) If it is a tree, then the parent would be at the bottom.
