   Well, at least when we save the patch, the values inside the  message are stored with the patch and that's exactly what it was  intended to do, and without the need of an external textfile.

  okay, that exactly like we can do with a message box
   but it's more simple with a textfile, true,
   but textfile needs an external file for keeping values.

  that's very tricky indeed,
   I think that a second textfile
   is needed for doing this stuff just as a temporary container

  Hmm, pdcontainer looks interesting, I haven't tried it yet,
   but will give a try...

  yeah!

   I wanted to say: "If it's relevant, I don't see how it is"
  but I think you've understood what I said...

  [concat] is concatenating two strings and [list] just puts them together
    
  for exemple [air( and [line( into concat would give "airline"
  and into list it would give "air line"
  unless it's possible to remove simply the space between the two strings
  I don't see how [list] would replace [concat]??

  oh yes I never look enough into usefull list-abs!
  thank again for these abs...
