[PD] messages to messagebox

[bbogart at ryerson.ca]

Hi Kristof,

I'm not quite sure what your trying to do here. when you use $1 $2 in a message box those refer to the first and second elements of a list. When you put two strings in a message box "testrecv 10" that is not the same as a list!!! you have to pack those two elements into a list and then send that to the message box containing $1 $2. Take a look at this:

#N canvas 342 166 580 414 12;
#X obj 429 137 r testrecv;
#X floatatom 429 165 5 0 0;
#X msg 187 171 foo testrecv 10;
#X obj 51 27 netreceive 3000 1;
#X text 282 133 fails;
#X text 322 173 works;
#X msg 191 281 \; \$1 \$2;
#X obj 163 352 print patch;
#X msg 112 66 testrecv;
#X floatatom 203 67 5 0 0;
#X obj 142 118 pack s f;
#X connect 0 0 1 0;
#X connect 2 0 6 0;
#X connect 3 0 6 0;
#X connect 6 0 7 0;
#X connect 8 0 10 0;
#X connect 9 0 10 1;
#X connect 10 0 6 0;
