Not sure what the issue is then. I'm using Pd-Extended 0.41.4 on Mac
OS 10.4.11 (PPC), at the moment.
I've tested this with toggle, bang, and canvas objects. If I put $0 in
the send or receive properties everything looks fine until i close and
re-open properties, then "test-send-$0" becomes "test-send-0" and
"testreceive$0" becomes "testreceive0". At no point (before or after
closing / re-opening properties) will the objects send or receive $0
properly.
how about $0-test-send instead of test-send-$0 ?

I can't do it this way in my current patch because I am using canvas
objects, and they don't have inlets with which to connect patch cords.
