I will, once sf.net CVS is back, and I can run your updated version
of pT.

Just the current value of the various settings (lighting, fullscreen,
frame, create/destroy, rendering, etc.). Since multiple [gemwin]
objects can point to the same window, it makes sense to have a
querying interface so that a new patch can query the gemwin to get
its status.

Yeah, I am not thinking of profiling. Really, it should be the exact
same info you get when you send [print( to [gemwin], but in Pd-space.

That would be nice. Carmen proposed a POSIX lib for Pd, that would
definitely be part of it. There could also be a more "Pd-ish" scanf.
