automatic opening of subpatches

[Miller Puckette]

If you name a subpatch "fred" for instance, you can send messages to
"pd-fred".  I've used it to add text comments to windows automatically,
but in principle you should be able to do anything that appears in a saved
Pd file (adding and connecting objects).
