I see this example in the javascript help:

p.fullscreen(1); // makes the patcher take up the whole screen

p.dirty(); // make an editable patcher dirty

What is the p.dirty method for? Does it have anything to do with the 

dirty property of any MacOS file? I don't understand...

p = this.patcher;
p.fullscreen(1);  // makes the patcher take up the whole screen
p.dirty();    // make an editable patcher dirty

What is the p.dirty method for? Does it have anything to do with the  
dirty property of any MacOS file? I don't understand...

It sets the dirty property of a patcher (like sending the dirty 

message to thispatcher object), in opposition to clean. When a patch 

is "dirty" you can't close it directly, you need to save it (or not).

What is the patcher.dirty method for?
