Ahhh perfect!
pd-$0-xy.pd was on the right track! (for some reason I figured it should be at the biggining as to not nessesitate makefilename!)
Thanks for the help.
Do you have a link to the document explaining the supported messages and receives? (for future reference!)

Ben,
Here I just fixed it for you and sent the changedversion. If you don't understand what's going on let me know.
Oh, I don't know what the "editmode" command that youhave in your patch is supposed to point to; I just pointed it to the graphics portion of the patch (which I've stuck in a subpatch). If you want it to apply to the processing portion of the patch you may want to further nest everything in a parent subpatch and have the editmode point to that parent. Once again, let me know if I'm not communicating this very well...
I've been doing a lot of abstraction work like this, so Iuse this trick all the time. If it helps you should check out the abstractions I'm distributing on my site, they might provide other insights...
I see you've been talking to Matt ;), Chalmers hasn'tgiven me any indication of when they're going to accept me (why wouldn't they? :) So I wait with baited breath...

Hey David,
Its being sent from inside the abstraction.
I'm not sure about your suggestions, I can send the message to pd-
xy.pd
(where xy.pd is the filename of my abstraction) sending to the
receive
makes all instances of the abstraction visible. What receive can
I send to
in order to only open the abstraction who receives the signal to
generate
that message?
; pd-xy.pd vis 1
is my message
I tried $0-xy.pd vis 1 / pd-$0 vis 1 / pd-$0-xy.pd vis 1 / etc...
Here is my patch for clarification.
