Yeah, that's the sort of confusion that the original manual would brew, 
and then it led to things like Nova (by Tim Blechmann) and Zengarden, both 
of which don't even have selectors internally.

Zengarden's $1 in message boxes is not compatible with Pd's : in message 
"hello world", "symbol $1" says "symbol hello" instead of "symbol world".
