Here's a patch that might help. The first "route" puts out messages whose selectors are 'a', etc. (I'm not sure this is the right behavior... I'll have to check how Max acts next time I'm around a macintosh... that might be years from now.) Meanwhile:
#N canvas 290 142 411 217 10; #X obj 93 38 r #keyname; #X symbolatom 91 124; #X symbolatom 157 127; #X obj 92 67 route 0 1; #X obj 92 98 symbol; #X obj 157 99 symbol; #X obj 217 122 print a; #X obj 217 97 route a b c; #X obj 267 123 print b; #X obj 316 123 print c; #X connect 0 0 3 0; #X connect 3 0 4 0; #X connect 3 0 7 0; #X connect 3 1 5 0; #X connect 4 0 1 0; #X connect 5 0 2 0; #X connect 7 0 6 0; #X connect 7 1 8 0; #X connect 7 2 9 0;
enjoy... Miller

Hi all,
looking at the #key stuff recently, and trying it out, I find that using pack/unpack or select with symbols, e.g. route 0 1 a, gives me error messages and does the wrong things. obviously you all dont have this problem, as it occurs in the help /demoes too...any suggestions what i am missing?
chz,
