Is there a way to save a current patch by a bang?

I need to get the content of a [massage] object after re-opening patch

 and I found out that the change of it is there only if the patch was saved.

Of course I want it all to be happened in the 

 and therefor it has to be an auto save routine.

You can use Max messages to open, build and close patches but I don't know of a way to save them.

you can use the "write" message to thispatcher.

but saving data in a message object and then overwriting the patcher file from itself is really the worst thing you can do to store data required for the patch.

in a standalone context it will not work any longer - and while patching, you might delete your whole patch accidentially. not to speak of the issues it will cause when you have multiple copies of it open.
