For this in rradical/memento I added a "save-bang" to [careGUI], and had that dump the tables as lists into communs just before the data was written. On load i'd measure the list length, resize the table and dump it back in - it worked great. It's been a while since I've had time to even open Pd, but if you need me to show an example I'd be more than happy to use it as an excuse to do so : ).

Last question - what about persistent arrays in abstractions? Any advice about that?  Some of my GOPs are table/array based, often for drawable control data.. I don't think I saw anything about this yet. I am willing to give a shot at developing something for it if it is not included yet.

Thanks again!

Yep, that's basically it. The basic rules are this:

* Put an object [originator $1 $0] into your abstraction.

* connect the leftmost inlets and outlets of that originator to the
  leftmost inlets and outlets of your abstraction. (That's just a
  convention, though.)

* For everthing you want to save, create a [commun /NAME $0] object
  and cross-connect its inlets and outlets to the thing you want to
  save, either a $0-local send/receive or directly. Replace "/NAME"
  with something useful.

  By cross-connect I mean, that you should connect the outlets of an
  object whose state you want to save to the inlet of the commun and
  the inlets to the outlets of commun.
