[PD] dynamic destruction of objects

[Peter Lunden]

hi there,

You can delete objects by sending messages to the canvas, it's very slow 
but it does the job.
Here is a short example of the content of a message box:
;
foo.pd find ObjToBeDeleted;
foo.pd cut

The object ObjToBeDeleted in window foo.pd will be deleted when banging 
the message box.

--PLu
