Instead of all the [del] objects I would recommend to use [t b b b b]
etc. to specify the order, in which the various messages are executed.
In some places your execution order still is undefined, e.g. in front
of the [tabwrite] object. It may work now, but as soon as you edit
this part, it may just as well stop working. You should read the html
manual's chapter 2.3: "messages" several times to really understand
the implications of the message ordering and how important correct
triggering with [trigger] is. It's reallyreally important, I cannot
stress this too much. There are also some help patches on the topic. 

Writing to a table is a quite common way to do state saving in Pd and
enough for many uses. If you run into a situation where you want more
flexible state saving (including saving symbols) you could look for
example into my Memento/RRADical approach described here:
http://footils.org/cms/show/1 or for a similar, but external-less
version I would recommend my "Stupid-super-simplistic State Saving
ADVANCED" abstraction, first presented here:

and since a couple of minutes it's also in CVS in
/abstractions/footils/sssad

Ciao
