[PD] pd-msg toggle init

[Matthew Nish-Lapidus]

Hi,

One solution, and one that I've used, is to use [makesymbol] to build 
your pd-msg message.   Make the pd-msg into a bunch of $1 $2 type 
variables and then use makesymbol to build the strings... that way by 
the time the $0 gets to the toggle it will already be parsed out into 
the full ID number.. which should be fine assuming that the constructor 
(pd-msg stuff) is in the same abstraction/sub-patch as the final 
toggle.  That way the $0 will be the same in both.

Matt.
