I'm using canvas messages as a work around for a missing delete message. I have a canvas that acts as a container of object and I like to add and remove object dynamicly. It is very anoying that I must keep the window open to be able do remove objects.

For me the best solution would be to have a delete message where you reference objects like in the connection message, the second best solution is to be able to remove objects using the cut message while the window is closed. Why can't the cut message be used when the window is closed?

    I was playing around with Pd's internal messages and found

that the "cut" command only works when the window is visible. So if you issue a cut command to a closed subpatch it won't actually cut anything, but "clear" works just fine.

    I wasn't sure if this was a feature or a bug... anyone?
