I have a message with
[one two $1 and the rest(
and want to replace the  $1 with a list of variable elementnumber.

I find it much easier to have access from within the message itself than 
having a pack, into which I load all the local variables with [loadbang] - 
[f $1]... which I have to trigger everytime I want to change an element of 
it. and then send it to a message and replace all the local variables from 
the packed list to message variables $1 $2 $3...
