I have a jit.gl.slab object (not created in js, with umenus to select shader file).

js object is sending it the message "getparamlist" which causes slab to output a list of parameters.

Slab's right outlet outputs a list of parameters, which is patched back into js object.

Slab only outputs parameter type when sent the message "getparamtype .

I need to pair each element of the paramlist with its related param type.

As far as I can figure out, I need to loop through the array of names, waiting each time for the param type to come back to the js object, and store both in an index of an array (or send both pieces of information to another function for max object scripting).

I've only used js for 6 months (primarily as an alternative to scripting via thispatcher), so please bear with me and thanks for any help you can offer!
