[maxmsp] Re: Re: managing multiple patches

Ok, I've been checking with a big patch that also does a fair amount of scripting on load and so far your solution seems to work great! Thanks again :)

Btw by relying on synchronous events I think you could slightly simplify your patch:

#P window setfont "Sans Serif" 9.;
#P window linecount 1;
#P newex 163 206 25 196617 iter;
#P window linecount 2;

#P newex 111 75 88 196617 t dispose b b path;
