[PD] Pd as sound editor (issue with "scrolling" a table) ??

[Pierre Massat]

Hi Jonathan,

I found it following this path : help for [tabwrite] --> More_Info -->
all_about_arrays --> Common uses for arrays in Pd
Bummer, I thought somebody would come up with a secret table manipulation
technique that would make this statement true...

Cheers,

Pierre.
