[PD] how to set variable types

[derek holzer]

Works here. Try the attached patches. Save both somewhere and load 
"main.pd". The [bang< message should output $1's value (i.e. "1").

If those don't work for you, you might have some trouble with your 
number box. In that case, info on your OS, PD version and possibly also 
your Tcl/Tk versions would be useful, as the problem would be somewhere 
in there.
