I can feel with you: Pd is daunting at first. But with patience you
will get into it.

Yes. There is an object that does just that and it is calle
[writesf~]. If you right-click on it (or Ctrl-Click? I don't know the
Mac...), then you can select "Help" and get an explanation of how it
works.

You don't need to.

A patch is something, that you can edit inside of Pd. If you click on
it and it opens, it's a (sub-)patch. An external is a binary object,
that can load in Pd. It does not have a name ending in .pd  but one
of .pd_darwin, .pd_linux or .dll

There are no stupid questions but those, no asked. Oh no, proverbial
time... ;)
