If you name a subpatch "fred" for instance, you can send messages to "pd-fred". I've used it to add text comments to windows automatically, but in principle you should be able to do anything that appears in a saved Pd file (adding and connecting objects).

is there anyway of finding out the id of the current window, so that ;pd messages can be sent which modify the current patch?

It should be possible by writing a small external at least ..????

if so, would it be technically possible to make an abstraction that has a variable number of inlets/outlets (that is, triggered by a loadbang, it would use the creation parameters to build additional inlet/outlet objects).

there are possibly a lot of issues i havent considered, regarding the order of events during creation.

sorry, i think i have a bit of a repressed fetish for self-modifying code :)

.. and now for recursion
