-#X text 480 426 There are many cases where you may want messages to

-many modules with a receive object called [r number] but you want that
-'number' to be passed to only the objects within a single module so
-that they don't effect the performance of the other modules.;
-#X text 481 506 In these cases \, you should use "local variables"

-a [send] something like "foo" \, then all [receive] objects in open
-patches named "foo" will 'hear' those messages. Also note that the

-that are currently open in PD - they don't have to be VISIBLE...they
