I'm trying to overwrite a coll element with the message "store 1 $ 1", but it doesn't write to the coll .txt file when I try to open it outside of Max, I only see the changes when I open the text file in Max.

Also, is it possible to use a write function without using the embed attribute?

Hi,
I'm trying to overwrite a coll element with the message "store 1 $ 1", but it doesn't write to the coll .txt file when I try to open it 

over-write-in-coll-file-with-store

 from a specified file on opening the patch but I believe it only writes modified 

 data back to disk if you explicitly request it to. The 

Max will automatically load a coll from a specified file on opening the patch but I believe it only writes modified coll data back to disk if you explicitly request it to. The write message will open a Save as... dialog if you don't specify a filename.

there are this writeagain and readagain messages.

read coll help file
there are this writeagain and readagain messages.
