these docs are very nice, though when i last read them, if i remeber
correctly, it only documents messages that you can send to the pd object
to script patch editing/creation and such, now how you can intercept
what messages the pd object gets from the TCL gui... while exceedingly
cool, not quite what we need... thanks though :)
