using "vis $1" messages or the mouse

Can you explain? [my_abstraction] |;my_abstraction vis 0( <-- turns off abstraction gui?

I'm gonna try Tim's suguestion when I get home. Thanks Tim and Frank! Tim: I am curious what you mean by boom! :D

<suguestions> I wonder if it wouldn\'t be a good idea (like labeling inlets with a mouseover which I still haven\'t had the time to figure out) to allow patches to open and close like a window? Closed subpatches or abstractions would just look like the rradical *-ng and thusly not have the overhead of drawing the gui, or you could open the external by either a message or a right click.

While we are at it why not add a switch~ off/on (when outside an abstraction) and even a blocksize dialog (along with the gop toggle when inside an abstraction) to the right click options just for kicks?

</suguestions>

Would all that require a major rewrite?

Thanks for the help and the patience, one and all! -thewade
