[PD] "argument out of range" when using $1/$2 for send/receive name

Are you really using #1 or rather $1 here? 

Anyway the error "argument number out of range" usually comes from
message boxes that get a list which is shorter than the biggest dollar
variable in it, like this:

 [1 2 3(
 |
 [$4(

It generally has nothing to do with send/receive. So I'd recommend to
look for dollar signs in message boxes and check their inputs.

Ciao
