as hans already knew, I disagree. I have not heard the term class before. I think the term class is really not in use by pd users. what you (hans) call a class is called an object by everybody else... [class] <-- that is not a class, it is an object. [message( <-- and that is a message. when we are talking about "dac~", then we are talking about the object dac~, even if it is not the technically correct term (I learned now: it is a class, until you make an instance of the class, that is called object) but that is confusing. please use object!
