Hi,

I'm looking for a way to know if the patch is running on OSX or Windows.
Does someone have any idea ?

Thanks.

Yeah, it's a really simple and effective patch. But where do you find stuff like that in the documentation?

Yes, I agree it is not easy to find all that infos, Max is so complex, having so many objects.
When I was a beginner, it was all much easier, one could read documentation in short time.
Anyway, there must be a section named "Messages to Max" somewhere in reference or documents.

Thanks! I found it at https://docs.cycling74.com/max6/dynamic/c74_docs.html#messages_to_max but it was MUCH easier with google than searching the online documentation.

It was also in "vignettes" (huh?) under "Controlling Max with Messages" which I found only by going through the list. And there's mention of it in the "message" help patcher, but certainly not a full explanation.

I need a rest now! ;-)
