number~ isn't revealing itself to autopattr in max 7
it works fine in max 6
I don't think it does, at least it doesn't for me in Max 6.1.9. number~ isn't pattr-compatible, as far as I know (nor would it make much sense -- number~ is essentially just a meter).

it's not just a meter when it's in arrow down mode. Besides it's a user interface object and I gave it a scripting name.
From the autopattr help "If a UI-object has a Scripting Name, then this autopattr will include the object in this patch's attribute (pattr) system."
