setting [grab] target

I want to use the grab function in a dynamic way, i.e set the target and
then grab it. The external doesn't have a "set" messages. Does anyone know
an elegant workaround or alternative?

As great as the help files are, they don't tell you everything.

I found the set message by ctl+opt clicking on the object, and read about it on p. 225 of the Max Reference Manual.

In short, it works.

When I forget to look it up, and even that I've used this
before, it's probably time to get some sleep ;-)

Thanks, T-
