 When I last tried this, (about at .20) it was a problem for me to.  I
found that the arguments only worked in message boxes (not in objects). 
So, I would put the argument into a message box and use the equivalent
of a loadbang to set the object.  I mentioned it to Miller when I was
doing pushit, but there were so many other problems that it probably got
lost in the confusion.

  I can think of a couple of ways.  One, you can use the traditional
"counter" trick with a '+ 1' object looped back onto itself with an
int.  Or, you can use the counter object in MarkEx.  With the trick
above, it should work fine.

Later, Mark
