nice hack, thanks it sure makes me wonder less if I left any unwanted
characters in my comments. :)

I faintly remember a problem with the comments in Tcl/Tk not really
honouring line feeds correctly (or Return character), right? I mean if
the line feeds were working and would show up identically after saving
and loading the file from disk, then there would be no need to resize
comments at all. Would this issue still be a problem in current Pd?
Resizability sure makes sense with objects where one would need to see
different outlets more easily.
Thanks! best, Peter
