I've just started learning MaxMSP 5, so this might be a noob question.

I keep getting the "$" variable out of range messages. I looked it up, 

"Occurs when you refer to an argument number out of the range $1-$9 in 

It doesn't seem so hard to find where it occurs, I believe the "min 

$1" and "max $1" message boxes cause it, but I don't know how to do

I keep getting the "$" variable out of range messages. I looked it up,  
"Occurs when you refer to an argument number out of the range $1-$9 in  
a message to a message box."
It doesn't seem so hard to find where it occurs, I believe the "min  
$1" and "max $1" message boxes cause it, but I don't know how to do  
this proper - any ideas?
