Christof,
The first element of the list being a symbol is the exact problem and your 
split > float > append makes a functioning work around.  Here is what I ended 
up with.

[listen 8000( 
|
|
[netrecieve -u -b]
|
|
[oscparse]
|
|
[list trim]
|
|
[list split 1]
|      |
|      |
[f]    |
|      |
|      |
[list append]
|
|
[route 1]

I guess I’m not clear on why the first element after [list trim] is a symbol? 

Thanks so much for the help,
Mitch
