[PD] inlets, outlets, and dynamic patching

[Matt Barber]

Hello,

Thanks for this.  Out of curiosity, what's the main difference between
[loadbang] and [initbang] for use in abstractions (does [initbang] not
send a bang when you open the abstraction file for editing but only
when you load it in another file)?

Also, the [namecanvas] helpfile says it is obsolete -- is it likely to
disappear?

Thanks,

Matt
