[PD] Keyname Object Changed? (Jack)

[Greg Surges]

If anyone is interested,

I've written an external for assembling text-strings, which also allows for
single-character backspace and a preview of the string being assembled.

The source code is on my website:

http://www.uwm.edu/~gssurges/ <http://www.uwm.edu/%7Egssurges/>

Hope it's useful to someone else,

- Greg
