[PD] dollarsigns with quotes

[seth at street-vision.com]

Trying to get pd to interpret dollarsigns in message boxes when they are surrounded by quotations. for example the following patch will just print:
print: tag is "$1" and id is 5



[sometext<   [ 5 \
 |          /
 |         /
[packs s f ]
 |
 |
[tag "$1" and id is $2  <
 |
 |
[print]


I need the value in quotes because i'm trying to dynamically construct SQL queries. I know that if i put quotes in the initial 'sometext' message box and around the $1, it works.this doesn't help much because i still have to get quotations around a dynamic value at some point... 

any suggestions?
