Hi,
in a message box $1 expands to the first atom in the list sent to the messagebox
in an object box the $1 expands to the first argument of the abstraction. (only when the object in question is inside an abstraction?)
Does that help?

ok, but as far as I know I thought the $1 was used to change an item in a list message. something like:
23 $1 45
not for instatiating... But maybe I'm wrong... may the $1 is just not substituted by the string or number used as an argument (refreshed I mean).

I max you usually use the #1, #2, and so forth but obviously if tried that and it didn't work...
In PD you use $1, $2, $3, and so forth. There are some things to consider, so you should RTHM (read the html manual).
ciao,
