Another comment about the documentation in Max5: there are no 

informations about [thispatcher] messages like clean, write, patcher, 

dispose, loadbang, etc. (not speaking about topmost - thanks John!). 

The .maxhelp is much moe complete than its reference file!

Interestingly, the contectual menu assistance shows, like in Max4, 

only 3 available messages: anything, end and savewindow. Which are of 

course the only one described in the reference.

Thanks Jeremy, but those are messages I can see in 

thispatcher.maxhelp, and I use them with [thispatcher] since ages. I 

can't see anything about dispose, dirty, etc. in [patcher]'s ref 

If you search for dispose in Max5's documentation, it will indeed 

return the [thispatcher] help file, but you won't find anything about 

dispose until you open the .xml source to discover dispose in a 

What about my recent previous message about #0 in the documentation? 

Max5's documentation system seems so strange to me...
