hi,

to be precise, you CAN pack selectors together with other atoms, they are just ordinary symbols... try this 5-banger:

#N canvas 133 114 267 252 12; #X msg 44 31 1000 bang; #X obj 44 66 unpack 0 s; #X msg 129 101 $1; #X msg 44 136 stop; #X obj 44 101 del; #X obj 129 136 metro 200; #X obj 129 171 print; #X connect 0 0 1 0; #X connect 1 0 4 0; #X connect 1 1 2 0; #X connect 2 0 5 0; #X connect 3 0 5 0; #X connect 4 0 3 0; #X connect 5 0 6 0;

p.s. quite a lot of pd-list messages have missed my mailbox, among them this thread (which is from way after `virus scanner blues', strange...)

From: IOhannes m zmoelnig (zmoelnig@iem.kug.ac.at) ...

a "bang" message is NO atom, but a list of 0 atoms, starting with the identifier "bang". you CANNOT pack bangs together with other atoms (so no package containing "bang"+<float>) since a bang is no state (you cannot really distinguish between various bangs), there is no real sense in packing it together with something other.
