i did consider that actually, but then thought that it would make the
abstraction less of a "black box" because the parent needs to know something
about it's inner workings (that it requires an array).

its good to know that that's the only way though, so that i'm doing it
because i have to, not because there is something about pd i dont know (if
you see what i mean...)

thanks,
pete.
