[PD] data structures - get symbol?

thanks, it works fine on the latest version of pd-ext. I guess (I hope)  
that the next step would be implementing the symbols in [append], so that  
an extra [set -symbol] must not be used. Is Mr. Miller on the house? :)

one more question though: I tried to apply the [get] help patch in my  
patch, but it didn't work. in the following picture, when I press traverse  
pd breaks up. on the other hand, like in your patch connecting directly  
[append] to the get pointer (through the inlet which is now disconnected)  
it works when the structures are created, but I can't make it work after  
that.
