#X text 20 332 Arguments: 1 symbol atom "help-delay";
#X text 86 347 2 float "500";
#X text 19 246 For most objects in Pd \, the zeroth argument is the
class name (i.e. \, the name of the object itself) \, so it isn't written
explicitly.;
#X text 80 317 (0 symbol atom "delwrite~");
#X text 19 37 Creation arguments initialize an object's behavior. They
can be numbers or symbols. Some objects \, like [route] \, can take
an arbitrary number of arguments. In the example below \, the arguments
"6.5" and "foo" specify initial values for [float] and [symbol] objects
\, respectively.;
