[PD] receive functionality question

[David NG McCallum]

If you're just sending a string of numbers and nothing more, a cheap way 
to do it is to use any of the IEM GUI objects. Take a number box or 
something and use that as your receive object. If you check the help 
patch for it you should be able to find out how to change the receive 
symbol. (it might be "set rcv" or "rcv" or something like that)

Cheers,
David
