zl slice bug
hey just found something which wasted half an hour of my life.
if you send the zlclear message to zl slice, it clears the argument as well as the contents.

Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.
this seems unexpected, illogical to me (max 6.07, mac version)

It might not be the most intuitive behavior, but that's the way it supposed to work. When you send the zlclear message, the right "value" (aka the number of items you want to split) is reset to the default value (i.e. 0).
OK, understood-- will keep in mind next time ...
EDIT- just revisited the object in question-- while this happens for slice mode, the zlclear message does _not_ affect group mode ie the argument remains.
This is clearly an inconsistency.
