#X text 40 35 If you are familiar with messages in Pd then the difference
between a list and an "anything" will be easy to understand. If not
\, have a look at the following help patches:;
#X text 199 201 move to all_about_route? ->;
#X text 40 142 A list message consists of either a) the selector "list"
followed by two or more atoms \, or b) a multi-element message beginning
with a number ("implicit list").;
#X text 40 269 1) The term "anything" in Pd generally means "any message"--
to be specific \, any message in Pd that has a valid selector (or is
an implicit float or list message). This includes the built-in message
types float \, symbol \, list \, bang \, and pointer \, as well as
custom messages like "set 87" \, print \, debug \, "receive972 a b
d 3" \, etc.;
#X text 40 349 2) The term "anything" is also used to mean messages
with selectors other than those of Pd's built-in message types-- i.e
\, "anything else." This use probably arises because there is not a
name for the set of messages consisting of one or more atoms that aren't
float \, symbol \, list \, pointer \, nor bang messages. (The word
"meta-message" is synonymous with this meaning.);
