You mean it's a kludge if there isn't a special object for this?  I  
think conceptually, it is like sending to the pd "object" itself.  I  
mean that if you send [; pd dsp( then you'll get a reply with the  
current state.   The only problem there is that [; pd dsp( could be  
interpreted as [;pd dsp 0( if there is no different between lack of  
an argument and an argument initialized to 0.

Terrorism is not an enemy.  It cannot be defeated.  It's a tactic.   
It's about as sensible to say we declare war on night attacks and  
expect we're going to win that war.  We're not going to win the war  
on terrorism.        - retired U.S. Army general, William Odom
