Prepend the contents with msg (don't forget the space between msg and contents) then activate object to be recreated.

Which versions of Pd does that work with ? This doesn't seem familiar, especially after reading the source code.
However, replacing 'obj' by 'msg' inside a .pd file does work.

You are saying to write "msg" before the text I was writing and realized that I wanted a message box? (sorry, non native english speaker here) Suposing that's what you meant, it didn't work, at least in Pd-extended 0.42.5

You are actually right. It appears that obj cannot become a msg... Something to look into...
