Oh :$:$:$:$:$:$:$ (shame smiley)

It was THAT simple...

Indeed I had been looking at the reference folder and opening all the help-anything.pd files that I didn't know, but for some reason I missed the "list" one (maybe I thought I knew it, or I thought lists wouldn't do).

Thanks a lot guys, and sorry for bothering.

Bye M.

Is there a reasonably stright-forward way in pd-proper (I mean, without externals) to do either of the following two things?

1. Removing the first element of a message (NOT necessarily a list) and

returning the rest of the message 2) Prepending a symbol or number to a message

It doesn't matter if it's a list or not, you can still use [list] to turn it into a list, do a pre-pending or pre-unpending and then use [list trim] to turn it back into a message.

Best,

Chris.
