Max Object Creation? Options

[jonny cash]

Hey all. I've made a useful little object in MaxMSP but don't know how to close it so that it can't be opened when you create as an object in a new patch, basically I want my object to function in the same way that a standard object does. I figured it might be something to do with the 'this patcher' object but I can't for the life of me figure it out. I'm sure its a simple bit of coding but as they say they're only easy if you know the answers. If someone can help me I'll post the object up so that you can tell me if someone has made one before (which they probably have).. thanks
