1) Give an example, [canvasinfo] gives me “<pointer>” , using -verbose -stderr, or “(pointer)” using the Purr Data console.

FYI I never used pointers on Pd.

2) Lets skip that.

3) Lets skip, I have to do a new build to test that and it will take around 50min, I will when the new HTML stuff is ready to test.

There are three ways to do this:

1) Screwing around with pointers. I have a [canvasinfo] object that can be used

to abstract away the ugliness. That way the user can just type a send-symbol. I

can give you an example if you want.

2) Using indices in a ds-array. Fairly ugly, and not very usable for building simple

graphical interfaces.

3) Using the "canvas" field and putting the [text], [coll], [adc~], etc. *inside* the

scalar. The is pretty nifty, except for the fact that I just fixed a crasher with it.
