[PD] Pd Text editor documentation...

[chun lee]

Hi frank:

Thanks for your reply. Ok, I got it now. Once the elements are sent, there
is no way to delete from the editor, right?

Is there any special tricks that one can do with the editor? Like fast batch
change or something. I guess what I am asking is that is there a special
purpose for the editor to be there? I have been using Pd for 6 months now
and have just found this thing, I would like to know if I am missing
something important.

Cheers
