[jitter] Re: float isn't float ?

A corrective note: the "getparam" message _does_ report a 2nd value,  
as documented here in the Jitter reference:

getparam: Sends a list out the object's right outlet containing the  
current value of the parameter specified by the param argument  
(either by name or by index into the list returned by getparamlist).  
The list is formatted as 'param "param" "param-val" "param-display"'.  
The "param" argument is the name of the parameters, the "param-val"  
the value, and "param-display" is an alternate display value, for  
parameters whose "real value", as understood by the parameter, lies  
outside of the range 0-1.

This "param-display" value is probably what you're talking about.  
Sorry for the miscommunication. "param-display" is a symbol, not a  
float, since the freeframe spec reports this information as a string,  
rather than as a number.
