Hi, I would like to redirect the pd console messages such that I can display them in gripd (an external GUI for pd), then I can run pd with -nogui and just have the gripd GUI running. HOwever, I want to be able to see system messages in the gripd GUI. If I could just redirect the messages to somewhere in the pd patch, I could send it to the gripd GUI no problem.
Any suggestions...?

You should be able to forward most, if not all system messages, but it requires a bit of research and some filtering of messages that you don't want sent through.

Go to your help browser and go to:

manuals/pd-msg/

There's loads of info in there

Hi, I did look there but don't see anything that will do it. In my several hours of research (still a Noob-a-saurus though), I saw tantalizing hints about how the GUI module of pd communicates to the computational module via localhost, but dont know which port. I see 3000 or 3001 mentioned in many of the examples. I tried various things like "receive pd" and "netreceive 3000", and at one point I was able to see a series of "ping" statements directed to the console (can't remember which how I did itright now), so I thought I was getting warm, but couldn't get any further.
