you cand send pd messages with the 'pd' proc. eg:
pd myrcvsym 345 \;

and also to the [tot] outlet somehow. [widget] also has [tow] objects for proxy messaging ports, and

[widget] has some kind of preprocessor that substitutes in the current object id to your script. this is another selling point over [tot], besides the oo-ness.
