Somewhere between the output of [textedit], commas get deleted. How can I save verbatim the contents of [textedit]?

I'd like to be able to read, edit and save Csound files all within MaxMSP. Currently in between editing and saving, commas are stripped out, and the Csound is syntactically invalid.

Current Csound has a number of frontends, but since I use it so often with Max via the [csound~] object, it'd be nice to edit the files directly within max.

Think this might be a bug, notice if you change 'write a.txt' to 'write' then you have to enter your own file name

I couldn't replicate this. The commas were not retained.

Could the filetype message have something to do with it?

I've been sending [filetype .csd], I'm on OSX.

Heres a more fleshed out version of the patch.

Do you need [textedit]? Can you just use [text]? There are a lot more features in it and I don't think the comma issue is there either. But it does require its own window.
