[PD] data-struct: (x:y) & move object

Thanks for the info on your patches, I'll check them out when I get a chance.

In one of your tutorials, you asked about the "sort" message.  Have a look at 07.sequencer.pd.  If you open the synthesis subpatch, you'll see that pd-data is sent a sort message before sequencing.  This sorts the data so that the left-to-right order of the graphical objects on the screen reflects the order in which they will be traversed.  In this case it's a way of ensuring that the sounds "match" the visuals.

As far as undocumented features, I don't know, but I just noticed there's a typo in the release notes:
"A "sendwindow" message forwards any message to the window contining the scalar currently pointed to."

It's actually send-window (with a hyphen).
