hi,

so, to repeat myself in Pd-jargon: wouldn't it make sense to give messages with text the selecton "symbol" and messages with white space the selector "list"?

hi, scrolling the html manual just two sections back I find:

``Messages in Pd consist of a selector (a symbol) and zero or more arguments''

and further above:

``It is possible to type messages which start with a number, which cannot be used as a selector. A single number is always given the "float" selector automatically, and a message with a number followed by other arguments is given the selector "list".''

Now, wouldn't it make sense to interpret messages with text as symbols, and messages with spaces as lists?
