symbol (?) problem

[Miller Puckette]

Here's a patch that might help.  The first "route" puts out messages
whose selectors are 'a', etc.  (I'm not sure this is the right behavior...
I'll have to check how Max acts next time I'm around a macintosh... that
might be years from now.)  Meanwhile:

#N canvas 290 142 411 217 10;
#X obj 93 38 r #keyname;
#X symbolatom 91 124;
#X symbolatom 157 127;
#X obj 92 67 route 0 1;
#X obj 92 98 symbol;
#X obj 157 99 symbol;
#X obj 217 122 print a;
#X obj 217 97 route a b c;
#X obj 267 123 print b;
#X obj 316 123 print c;
#X connect 0 0 3 0;
#X connect 3 0 4 0;
#X connect 3 0 7 0;
#X connect 3 1 5 0;
#X connect 4 0 1 0;
#X connect 5 0 2 0;
#X connect 7 0 6 0;
#X connect 7 1 8 0;
#X connect 7 2 9 0;

enjoy...
