[PD] iChat / SMS -> PD

[mark edward grimm]

hey simon...

yeah thats an awesome way to do it. i hadnt thought of that.. ill give it a shot!

right now i successfully have iChat sending keystroke commands to pd via applescript - not very complex. the pdsend/netrecive stuff would really help to send more complicated messages...

thanks!
mark
