figure out sending to local patches

[iainctduncan]

need to figure out some way of sending to child patches where there are duplicates. something equivalent to send with #0_foo style names.

Is there and SDK function to allow sending similar to messages doing "; #0_foo bar"?

A workaround does exist, but it isn't pretty: give a message box a scripting name such as dispatch and then do:

(send* 'dispatch '(set ";" "#0_foo" foobar))
(send 'dispatch 'bang)

Note that we have to enclose the semicolon and local scripting name in quotes.
