to an outlet \, or as messages to named destinations. The text is interpreted
as a sequence of lists \, and possibly some interspersed waiting instructions
(called "waits" here). You can ask for one line at a time ("step" message")
\, or to proceed without delay to the next wait ("bang") \, or to automatically
sequence through a series of waits (with each wait specifying a delay
in milliseconds);

#X text 625 20 The -g flag (which must be given after specifying the
text with a name or a "-s" argument) specifies that the text contains
messages to send to global symbols. Lines beginning with symbols are
sent to the corresponding receive (or other named object). Leading
numbers are then interpreted as waits. If you use "bang" to sequence
the text the waits will be output as lists for you to interpret as
you wish. If you send an "auto" message \, waits that consist of a
single number are interpreted as delay times in milliseconds (but waits
with 2 or more arguments are treated as in "bang"). Here the two waits
are "1000" and "500 1500".;
#X text 623 576 If you want to use leading numbers in lists as waits
without having to specify "-g" \, specify "-w 3" for example and up
to 3 leading numbers (fewer if there's a symbol among the first 3 items)
will be taken as a wait. Waits specified this way can only have numeric
elements (while waits specified with a symbol tag as above could have
symbols too if desired.) Here we use "-w 1" so the "auto" feature can
simply sequence a list of numbers:;
