 ===== The OSC Script =====

 ===== Start the Subscriber: =====
-Place a program that asserts `Wish the NetAddr is /addr/`. NetAddr is a string with form <IP>:<PORT>
+Place a program that asserts ''Claim the NetAddr is /addr/''. NetAddr is a string with form ''<IP>:<PORT>''
 For my current SuperCollider-based setup the assertion looks like this:
 <code>
-Wish the NetAddr is 192.168.4.71:57120
+Claim the NetAddr is 192.168.4.71:57120
 </code>
 This script currently only //sends// values to a single OSC receiver. Features like multiple targets and OSC Bundles are still TODO.
+===== Send OSC Packets =====
+When the OSC Script and NetAddr claims are being run, we can now easily send messages using Folk via the syntax:
+<code>
+Notify: OSC at /tone with args 440
+</code>
+This sends an OSC message to NetAddr with path ''/tone'' and value ''220'' the OSC helper utils will parse 220 into an int and send it as a proper OSC integer.
