Thank you so much, it really seems that is what i was looking for but unfortunately i have no experience with the shell or canvases and i couldnt find any info on this in pd's documentation. I really need some step by step instructions or references to get this working. I guess that my limited understanding of english is making things even harder. My (really) basic questions are the following:
In case of a not too deep recursion, probably the simplest would be to put something like [$1-quap $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 ...] into 1-quap.pd
Does this mean making a new patch whose name is l-quap.pd and contains a message box with the text [; $1-quap $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 ...] in it?
then make a dummy 0-quap.pd,
does this mean making a copy of the patch 1-quap.pd containing the same message box and saving it?
nd type something like for fn in {2,3,4,5,6,7,8,...}-quap.pd ; do ln -sf 1-quap.pd $fn ; done into the shell
i guess the shell is reached by going to /edit/texteditor. Do i have to have both patches open (does this even make sense?)? Does it matter from what patch i launch the text editor?
When i type in the text editor and send what you suggested pd returns:
{:dropped
}:dropped
and nothing else happens. Is this an error? What should happen now?
Thanks again

hi,
I am sorry -- my original reply was meant to be a kind of a funny trick...
Anyway,

no: an object box, where '$1-quap' is a name of an abstraction.

no: it might be empty, actually it might be anything, that does not contain '$1-quap' object in it.

no: it means any standard shell interpreter. If you are on windows (without cygwin), then you might use a batch file, or one-by-one click-editing, but I am not sure about emulating symbolic links with file name aliases... One might use copies, instead of symlinks, but it is very cumbersome (the attached $1-quap.pds are copies of 1-quap.pd).
