Stop right here! You lag behind an imporant version: pd 0.39 has much
improved data structures and extended documentation.

... however even 0.39 can not yet delete structure instances by
messages. I guess this is a bit tricky to implement, as it leads to
invalid pointers, however it would be really useful. 

I guess you're already beyond that, but the pd~convention docs contain
a data structure tutorial by me, available on puredata.info in the
pd~convention Documentation folder, which is a bit easier to follow
than Miller's tutorial IMO, if you're really just starting out with
data structures. I need to update it to 0.39 though.

Ciao
