[PD] char* to t_symbol* .

[joge .]

thanks ! /... didnt realize that gensym stood for generate t_symbol ..
worked liked a charm .
is there any other documentation about the pd system in addition to the
HOWTO at IEM by johannes m zmolnig .  its great documentation !!  however
the more documentation the better it is to find out how one needs to do what
they are looking to do .

thanks  again !!

joge .
