Thanks for the tips, CK.

     Two questions, why is reentrant discouraged, and what problems 

might r13 have?

     It sounds like r13 might do what I need, but from what I gather 

from the list archives there aren't any recent windows binaries, so I may just be out of luck and have to use internal messages to do the job. Eek...

Kjetil,

     I imagine that would work, except I'm using windows and don't have 

the knowledge/tools to do my own compilation. :-/

1. there is a patch for pd that adds set msgs for send and receive but it's use is discouraged, search the archive for 'reentrant '

2. d13bs ext13 have [s13] and [r13] objects IIRC but they might suffer from the same problems

3. dynamically create a [r whatever] object and connect it via msgs to the canvas (look for 'self modifying patches' , 'pd internal messages' for docs
