hi,

I am sorry -- my original reply was meant to be a kind of a funny
trick...

Anyway,

no:  an object box, where '$1-quap' is a name of an abstraction.

no:  it might be empty, actually it might be anything, that does not
contain '$1-quap' object in it.

no:  it means any standard shell interpreter.  If you are on
windows (without cygwin), then you might use a batch file, or
one-by-one click-editing, but I am not sure about emulating
symbolic links with file name aliases...  One might use copies,
instead of symlinks, but it is very cumbersome (the attached
$1-quap.pds are copies of 1-quap.pd).
