I think it's pretty cool that selecting a group of scalars in 0.39-2 will output pointers to all of them, but I'm wondering if there's a way to select a group of scalars and then perform some action on them... the way it is, it seems like you would have to set up the action first, and then select the intended scalars. If you perform the action second, it only applies to the last scalar. I don't yet understand all the [list] objects, is there maybe a way to use that to store a list of pointers? Maybe a [pipe] object in there somewhere?

You can use the wierd "vnext 1" message to the pointer object (see the pointer help window) to chase through the selected items in a window, one by one... that should let you do what you need.

Yes, you can store pointers in [list] as well, just pack them with [pack], e.g. [pack 0 p p p 0]---[list]
Maybe a [pipe] object in there somewhere?
[pipe] can delays pointer as well, but you probably know that already.

Hmm, but what if it's a different number of pointers each time? And if all pointers are coming from the same outlet, there would have to be some way to prepare them to be packed. -Chuckk

You can use for example all the list-operations in the [list]-abs collection to build and modify variable length lists on the fly.
