I dont know where I heard about this, but, someone said theres a script or function in/for Max that cleans a lot of the extra junk that acumulates in a max file after its been worked on many times.

Does ANYONE know what I'm referring to and how to get to and use it?

Your looking for gc() type that in the listener and it will do some clean up.

... it just responds with numbers. Does that mean It's done its job?
