What is the purpose of 'type' in [text] then? I find your advice of not using a feature because it is broken - frankly - disconcerting. If it's broken, then it ought to be fixed. Apparantly, FUDI uses both, commas and semicolons. In message boxes, they have a different meaning. The selector of a message after a semicolon is considered a send symbol. Everything after a comma i considered simply a message. In texts, the distinction was not clear to me, but it seems the Pd patch format itself uses both: #X floatatom 26 77 5 0 0 0 - - -, f 5; the message 'f 5' defines the width of the number box. I'd like to be able to modify Pd files with [text], since I believe both [text] and the Pd parser use the same infrastructure for parsing and composing. However, it seems that types are only implemented in the parsing component of [text], but not in the composing part. Yes, I could use the new [file] facility to edit Pd patches as binary files, but it seems the wrong tool, since Pd patch format is FUDI and [text] works with FUDI. Roman
