[PD] scripting pd printouts

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I've been thinking that it would be very handy to be able to get the  
complete contents of the Pd window in Pd space.  Then you could parse  
the error messages in Pd space and have your program respond.  I  
tried for a little bit to code it, but it was not as easily as it  
seemed at first glance.

That's my two bits.
