Take a look at the preset object and/or the pattr objects. You could build an "autosave" function where a closebang causes the umenu choice to be written to a preset and then a loadbang to select that preset each time.

Thank you very much. I'll see if i can figure out how to do that.

Managed to just use a preset object with write and read. Works great.

I'm looking at doing something very similar, but I would also like to do this with some text entries. (My project uses a patch that can send emails, and it would be nice if the user didn't have to retype email/password/message stuff) It doesn't seem like the pattr object will save text, though.

Check out [coll] and [text] if you want to save text to a file, or [pattrstorage] with a [textedit]
