thanks. I'll try to get the other ones finished as soon as possible.

that's true. but with use (and I didn't used it that much, only a few  
days) they become redundant. and since this is to increase speed, I guess  
in the 3rd day of using these objects it will be clear. (like f, t, s and  
r)


> How about [gui-edit]?

the project is to make one for each gui (which will happen fast, since the  
model seems to be accepted): hsl-ed, nbx-ed, ...-ed. Funny, "Gui-edit" is  
the general description I put in the Instructions. But for the individual  
objects it is better so.

all have, but what's important here is the function of the send. so far I  
saw cnv is the only one which can use the send to edit purposes, that is,  
to give the coordinates where it is. All the others use the send to output  
their result.

I am going to leave all these objects in my iem-wiki page,  
https://puredata.info/Members/jmmmp/ . I never went to cvs (installed all  
my things alone), must check that out.

By the way maybe one suggestion for the help patches (I use pddb): I find  
it better to write $ext-help.pd than help-$ext.pd. It makes the seach on  
the shell easier. I guess you might have a good reason to put it like it  
is now, but since the files are on a separate folder, I don't see how it  
would make a big difference to change it as Miller had it in the first  
place.
