[PD] send locally

[hard off]

i have run into a small problem with a new abstraction that i use to
load files into tables.

the abstraction is called loadrun.pd , and inside this abstraction is
a subpatch that makes a number of tables.  at the moment, these tables
are being sent to pd-loadrun.pd

but, i want to open several instances of this abstraction at once.

the problem is how to send stuff from a subpatch to the abstraction,
without sending it to all other copies of the abstraction?

i think i read somewhere about a local send object , (maybe in zexy?)
....but i can't remember.

any hints?
