[PD] difference send and using msg with ";"

[Roman Haefeli]

actually, it isn't a mess at all, i think. i try to illustrate it with
my previous example:

[loadbang]
|
[$0]
|_____________________
|;                   /
|$1-value 34         |
|$1-somevalue 127    |
|$1-othervalue 57    |
|$1-yoyo 1___________\

though, i wouldn't be against dollarzeros in message boxes, as well.
