I just asked Miss Marble. It seams to be due to Dieter Kovacic, and  
lives in externals/ext13/. It seam to have no help file, she couldn't  
located it, that is.

(I don't know what GOP really is, but apart from that) I think that  
would be a good idea: When checking out your patch to figure out if  
it really was the In slider that needed to be moved or not, you send  
a new version of it. It so happened that i had the two versions  
opened simultaneously, which meant that when i moved a slider in the  
one patch it influenced the slider of the same name in the other  
patch. Apropos, when is non local variables a really good idea?

Im quite new to actually patch anything in Pd, so i can't give an  
confident answer. - But i think, yes, adding $0 will do the trick. I  
also thing using $42 as a prefix will do the trick, since i'm not  
sure if the numbers 0 and 1 have special status in the variable "show".

PS. The looks are really slick in my opinion.
