You have this problem with the generated objects as well - as they,
too, need to be built out of messages. That is, if you provide a
symbol box to let users type in the name, they cannot type $0 or $1,
instead they need to type in the values of $0 or $1. 

Plus: There is no "$0" variable in messages! $0 is an object variable,
so to get it into a message, the messages needs to use another $x,
like $1, and replace that with the incoming value of [f $0] or [symbol
$0-aa] or [f $0]-[makefilename pd-%d-patch].

Besides that, there are some new methods of messages in 0.39 like
"adddollar 1" or "adddollsym 2-aa, which can be handy. See the help
file for messages, subpatch "pd changing-messages" for details on this.
