#X text 9 24 Every message has a selector. The selector is the first
element in the message. It tells the object which receives that message
what to do with it. A selector is basically like a command or a function.

#X text 22 319 Here's the technical definition:;
#X text 220 129 <-- "output-left" is the selector;
#X text 250 179 <-- "output-right" is the selector;
#X text 22 350 The selector is a symbolic atom \, which is a non-numeric
string with no white space \, semicolons \, or commas. In the case
of messages whose first element is a numeric atom \, the "float" selector
is implied.;
