Tom,
Take a look at the Pd internal messages http://pd.iem.at/pdwiki/index.php?PdInternalMessages. The zip file linked at the top of the page contains pretty useful patches for learning how to use them.
Anyway, the point is that there are "open" (and I think "close") messages that you can use on patches.
Take a looksie.
Cheers, David
