So, tried other things, and I see it won't be able to deal with messages including "$0" like [qlist]. So the reason must be not related to [qlist] or [textfile], but the way Pd handles (or doesn't handle) $0 in messages.
The only workaround is to forcely insert $0 with [makefilename], but then all symbols have to be local.
cheers

By the way, haven't been really able to make it work well with [textfile]. If you get a symbol with $0-symbol from a text file, you can't use it to work as an address for [send].

or you could build your own [qlist] based on [text]...
no need to change the old and rusty code of the original [qlist].
I get the workaround, but [qlist] is built for sequencing and simpler for that (like, it can easily set the tempo), and I still think it wouldn't hurt to make it more flexible. It'd be totally backwards compatible.
Although I assume I don't think I get the hassle it'd be to do that. I'm still struggling to see what could be so tricky to make "$0" possible to work in messages, sorry :P

on it ;)
Now, so it seems, at least [qlist] could be upgarded any time to do the expansion, right? That wouldn't hurt, would it?
