[PD] getting an external to work!!!!

[J. Scott Hildebrand]

       ok your two lines of code work, but they just give me the
file.pd_linux. how do i get the .pd file out of it so i can actually use
my external? and do i need to place my files in any certain
pd directory? thanks,

                         scott
