[PD] how to send song position pointer?

[christian dietz]

hi everyone!
i'm trying to send a "song position pointer"-message to a sequencer  
via the midiout object, but i don't get it to work. as i understood  
the message has to be a status byte (in this case 242 (dez) ) followed  
by two data bytes to set the song position. i'm able to send the  
status byte. e.g. i can send start, stop, continue messages which  
don't need data bytes.
thanks a lot.
christian.
