that's exactly. it is actually a symbol, but I can't explain it that well
as the pd masters. that's also what is written in the canvas properties
window.

no, it is much simpler than that. the patch is made so that no editing is
necessary. you type the name in the symbol field and press enter. that
would be
- click on the "Receive" field
- type test2 and press enter
- do the same for the send field, when necessary (with the other name)
if you changed the properties of the symbols you have to put them back in
order for the patch to work. as I said, it isn't necessary (and not
wished) to edit the patch to work with it.

I work with 0.39, but that's not the point (it will be when I implement
Frank B's sollutions). actually this is fully compatible, no exts as well.
